Subject: order of evaluation for method arguments

Is this code guaranteed to always work this way:

a = [1,2,3,4,5]
--> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
def m( a, b, *c )
  puts a, b, c
end
--> nil
m( a.shift, a.shift, a )
1
2
3
4
5
--> nil

I'm wondering (hoping) that the arguments will always be evaluated from 
left to right as is the case above.  Is this a 'ruby rule' or something 
that could change?

TIA,
Michael
