-# TODO: make should at least describe the part of the condition that is
-#  wrong. In this case it is probably the "no >= 10".  Ideally that should
-#  not matter though since the left-hand side of the '&&' evaluates to false,
-#  thus the right-hand side only needs to be parsed, not evaluated.  Since
-#  this is the modifier ':?', which expands subexpressions before parsing
-#  the condition, the "no >= 10" is probably a parse error since it "can be
-#  seen at compile-time" that the operand types of '>=' don't match.  Only
-#  that the concept of "compile-time" does not really apply here.
+# Ideally, the conditional expression would not be expanded before parsing
+# it.  This would allow to write the conditions exactly as seen below.  That
+# change has a high chance of breaking _some_ existing code and would need
+# to be thoroughly tested.

+# Since cond.c 1.262 from 2021-04-20, make reports a more specific error
