Ben Franksen <ben.franksen at online.de> added the comment:

Unfortunately with RL there is an inherent ambiguity wrt the meaning of
"before" and "after". I prefer to use these terms with respect to the
application order i.e. left=earliest patch to right=latest patch. In
this sense "before" is correct. The other meaning of "before" is "what
is accessed earlier" and with RL the two notions are opposite.

Not sure what to do about that.
