heh. yeah. except every time i think i rule the code shows me i'm still subordinate to the gods of the debugger.
But yeah i-interfaces in this code would be spurious at best.
that's not true of the runtimes component but i use abstract base classes instead of interfaces there, for reasons
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

What's the point of declaring collections for everything when I have generics for collections?
that was primary time saver moving from .NET 1.x to 2.0
I'm not going back.
I'd add, there's no reason for I-interfaces to be declared in this code.
There's no justification for it whatsoever.

A fan of these "Yoda conditionals" I also used to be, hmmm, yes. 
But with C# 7, I now prefer:
if (result is null)
If the null-coalescing assignment operator[^] makes it into C# 8, this line could be further simplified to:
result ??= new Dictionary<string, ICollection<(CfgRule Rule, string Symbol)>>();
Add in target-typed new expressions[^], and you can really annoy the var haters with:
result ??= new();

I love var but some of what you posted is too much. C# 12 will end up looking like perl at this rate. :/
I'm a fan of yoda conditionals for two reasons:
The first is old habits from back when compilers were more primitive (preventing accidental assignment)
The second is I've found that if you must use a series of ifs on the same target value it is easier to visualize what you're doing when the target is on the left hand side. For example
if("foo"==target)
else if("bar"==target)
else if("baz"==target)
that one obv is simple and can be changed to a switch but once you start adding || and && in there and breaking each subcomparison out on it's own line the difference is clear. yodaized looks better in the source in terms of figuring out what you're doing. The target being on the right makes it less distracting

I agree. It started as the same old habit to avoid accidental assignment, but I got used to it and still like it.
if (null == target) seems to make much more sense than if (target == null).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

This gets so much prettier in F#, where IDictionary<string,ICollection<(CfgRule Rule,string Symbol)>> simply becomes a type, like "RuleMap"

amen.
i'm half tempted to use linq but a lot of my queries wouldn't be much easier with linq.
the big thing is the typedefs. Even a more intelligent "using" would be helpful here.

If you can't even understand simple computer grammar yet, what chances do have men and women to understand each other?!

The simple answer to avoiding these things is to keep your code simple. The code you show there is complex, you are doing a lot on a single line. I know that grade-schools promote this, but it is not really that ideal when it comes to debugging.

Unfortunately the math behind it is really complex complicated*. I've figured most of it out by now.
*(A pet peeve of mine - complex and complicated are very different)

It started well, but then got silly. Just seems like made up article filler for the most part.
I mean, I can't imagine anybody has every said "Taken for granite"... well, at least not anyone that actually speaks English.

err, maybe not in UK, USA, Aus...
but in Asia (including countries like Singapore where English is the [first] official language) I've seen those mistakes, more and worse.

True, I have heard it used by some French and Belgians & French speaking Canadian, but not by a native (UK, USA, New-Zeland, Oz etc.) Interestingly the 'Jack Of All Trades' the quote Jack of All Trades master of none. I always understood it as 'Jack Of All Trades, master of none, more use than master of one'...

I recall having a "robust discussion" with someone on here about that one some years ago. They couldn't quite grasp the idea that could care less implies a non-zero amount of caring at the moment.
