As I said: it works as designed. It is important to have precedence from
right to left if we have multiple braces to expand. Consider this:
TEXMF={/local,/main}
TEXINPUTS=$TEXMF/tex/{generic,}//
And
/local/tex/funny/hyphen.cfg
/main/tex/generic/hyphen.cfg
We *do* want the second, not the first. That's the documented behaviour
and that's why I said: "works as designed".

I think that my text is ok for the next version of TL, but not for TL2003.
