I just went to my hardcopy AppleScript Language Guide [Addison-

and indicates that it is optional, always. (At least, it was in
1993.)
I just checked the latest and last hardcopy ASLG printed [Apple
Developer
Connection, 1999, sold through fatbrain.com, covering AppleScipt
v1.3.7].
On page 143, it says "...the Get command is optional because
AppleScript
automatically gets the value of expressions and references when
they appear
in scripts."
So nine years ago, it was still not required.
No, nine years ago the documentation left out some details.
I agree. The documentation didn't cover "one-liners". And, now that I
know, I'll be writing more one-liners containing 'get'. (The "bug" is
in the documentation.)
