I think the replacement of x. by x, etc. is an idea "too clever
by half". It's only broken some of my code in minor ways but will
be a persistent irritant. x,y,z,u,v,w are the first variable names
I tend to use & now you have to think twice before using them.

Correct Oleg;
There are cleaver ways to avoid the problem .. but remember that x and y are
probably the most common of all mathematical variable names that are now
being boxed into a special significance.
The names x., y. et all were special and looked special; fine but
eliminating any part of the a through Z series as regular nouns I believe to
be unfortunate.
