There is no spoon, and it is really you that bends.

Wait, what where we talking about? Oh yeah...

Apparently, the expression

   x --> 0

is actually parsed as

   (x--) > 0

Now of course, it should be obvious what it does. Indeed, if the author 
of the original code had written it that way, this question would never 
even have been asked!

There's a whole seam of similar questions on Stack Overflow - e.g., what 
does "&&&" do? It turns out that by mixing up binary and unary operators 
without spaces, you can CONFUSE THE **** OUT OF PEOPLE!
