Re: Inverting Axis

I did a bit of Googling, and it does seem that several optimizers will generate the same code for both cases. Optimizers appear to have come a ways since I last paid close attention.

It still makes sense to me to ask for -x (or 0-x) rather than -1 * x. Provided that the code is equally (or arguably better) readable by people, why not give the computer the simplest directions?
