Relying on the order arguments are evaluated in is always going to result in grief. Regardless of programming language. It's one of those noob mistakes that we've all made and learned from. I think we shouldn't be trying to protect people from such mistakes. I'd rather think about how we can get people to make such mistakes faster, so they can more rapidly build up the requisite scar tissue :)

So yes, we should document this, but not just in this particular case of tables. It feels more like something to bring up in the tutorial.

Edit: to be clear, I'm not (yet) supporting Kinnard's original proposal. I haven't fully digested it yet. I'm just responding to your comment in isolation ^_^
