In my language that is not allowed.  The order of operations,
as dictated by the developer, are honored.  A feature has to
be enabled to allow that kind of reordering.

My language focuses on data correctness, not speed.  Computers
today are fast enough for 99% of general purpose apps.  It's
time for them to mature into data correctness in all areas.
