[Gambas-user] Isn't this a clear error?

[Jussi Lahtinen]

String.Left(String as String [, Length as Integer])

Length is optional, then the only argument, 1 is taken as string.
So result is "1".
Everything seems to be correct... although it is little confusing that
number 1 is taken as string without "".
