Micha, you just don't seem to understand. TeX (like every other
programming language) never "behaves as 'intended'" — it does /exactly/
what you tell it to do, neither more, nor less. It cannot read your
mind. It cannot know what you /intend. /All it knows it what you have
told it to do. And (especially in TeX's case), it does that to
perfection and in a totally predictable and repeatable way.
