It doesn't help in all cases. If you're positioned near the end of the = node then you might be positioned near the reference and get it as the = default. But when visiting a node you start at the top, and many nodes fit = entirely on one screen, so it's a more common case that it will help (again for a imperceptible cost). It's certainly a more intuitive order than what is = returned now. Howard=
