We know you don't like it, but there are others who do like the !...! notation, including myself. And since I like your macro facility as well, I propose to include both features in the upcomming ABC standard. Is that acceptable to you Phil? Do other people on this list agree? Regarding the bangs, they are really necessary because one should be able to insert symbols without first assigning them to a macro. Yes, I know this looks ugly, but only when a symbol is used numerous times is it worthwile to first assign it to a macro. Phil, I hope you can live with that.
