Why does the corner trick work?

(1/4) > >>

Adam Bomb:
By corner trick, I mean getting into this kind of position:

--- Code: ---.......B
.@.#####

--- End code ---

When you are in this position, you can shoot the enemy, but they won't shoot back. I assume the reason is that the enemy's LOS is blocked by the wall, but if that's true, I don't understand why, because if I stand where the B is, I can shoot that location around the corner. Can anyone explain this to me? It seems like the corner trick is an exploit of a LOS bug; is it? Or is this behavior intentional and designed?

Kornel Kisielewicz:
LOS bug. To be fixed in 0.9.9.2

Adam Bomb:
Good, now I know not to rely on it. Thanks, Kornel!

No no no... rely on it now, but be aware that it will be fixed (i.e. relearnt) in the future.

Sylph:
I thought this just represented the ability to stick your arm out around the side of a wall without exposing yourself....

If this is getting fixed, where will the tactics in doomrl lie? I often mention this feature, when talking doomrl up to my friends, as the sole reason doomrl is such a tactical game - without it surely doomrl would just be about having enough health and armour to out-tank opponents?
