Eiffel "Gotchas"

There aren't many "Gotchas" in Eiffel, but here are some to think about:

• Gotcha #1 - 'min', 'max' and expanded
• Gotcha #2 - manifest strings
• Gotcha #3 - 'min', 'max' and tennis players
• Gotcha #4 - array items
• Gotcha #5 - null pointers
• Gotcha #6 - forbidden comments
• Gotcha #7 - redundant parentheses
• Gotcha #8 - order of local entities
• Gotcha #9 - postconditions
• Gotcha #10 - discounts
• Gotcha #11 - cleaning up
• Gotcha #12 - onceness and invariants
