Oops, sorry, I should have parenthesized that expression. I usually use
parentheses whenever in doubt, but I thought that might violate gawk style.
With the attached (revised) patch, all the tests pass for me. Thanks for
catching this.
As is obvious, I haven't tested this, so I'm not sure whether it induces
the "typeof" function to report incorrect results in other cases...
