lib.fixedPoints.extends: document order of invocation#245825
Conversation
The description for lib.fixedPoints.extends is very hard to understand. I read it a few times trying to figure out "in what order are its arguments applied by the resulting function?" and couldn't figure that out. So I added the answer to that question in a comment. I don't think the allusion to Java is particularly helpful.

I think that documentation needs a complete rewrite, it's overly convoluted. I made an attempt of that here: #248220 |
