Oh. Yeah, I missed that.
My bad.

If you check the optimization page, this is mentioned as part of the basic techniques. It works for ending parentheses, quotes, and brackets before →, as well. And for ending parentheses and brackets (but not quotes) before a : character that isn't a new line.

That is because all parentheses and stuff like that are cut off after the 3F character, so it works like that.

In retrospect, this seems pretty obvious, but you can shave off a byte or two in some cases. I didn't realize that it could work this way at first because ti-basic wasn't my first programming language and is the only one I've ever used in which ending parentheses can be left off.

When you want to check if a list or matrix item is equal to a value, you can switch the item to the right of the = operator and remove the ending parentheses and brackets.

For example,
If [A](1,2)=2
can be
If 2=[A](1,2

I'm not sure if this is documented somewhere on this site but I don't recall seeing it here.
