This is a bug report for perl from l....@web.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.16.3.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

Commit 3b10bc60979cfe9ad677ef795a35603768200ad6 changed the perlfunc entry for
stacked filetest operators from "this is only syntax fancy" to "this is only
fancy fancy".

Does "fancy fancy" mean anything or was this a mistake? I find it confusing.

Tom C.:

Did you perhaps intend "fancy syntax" here?

Thank you very much.
