I strongly agree with Guido that we should fix the code. To me, defined left-to-right evaluation of sub-expressions within an expression is a feature. C's 'implementation defined' is a nuisance. I do not think we should temporarily change the doc. In other cases where we have only applied a bugfix to a future version, we have not temporarily doc'ed the bug as 'correct'. The change should be in What's New.
