349956 - Decompiler can't make up its mind for <x/>.@*

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

> function () { <x/>.@* }
function () { <x/>[@[*]]; }

> function () { <x/>[@[*]]; }
function () { <x/>.@[*]; }

The fact that it takes more than 1 trip through uneval to settle on a final form confuses my fuzzer in bug 349611.

> function () { <x/>.@[*]; }
function () { <x/>[@[*]]; }

The fact that it *never* settles on a final form (bouncing back and forth between two forms) bothers me even more.

These aren't necessarily bugs, but they do interfere with certain methods of testing decompilation.

Shaver, please renom for 181 assuming this passes your review. Also, be sure to tell us how it feels to be the new mrbkap!

That fixed <x/>.@* to not go into a back-and-forth loop, but the back-and-forth loop is still there.  I filed bug 350226 for that.
