The answer is: yes, *I* will. If we take '=' out of identifier characters, then it becomes rather hard to define some useful identifiers:
==, <=, !=, >= so '=' will remain an identifier character, and actually I just added '|' to the identifier set as well. Small change happened as a side effect, however: the WHERE clause in DEFREPR now wants "==" rather than "=". This is more consistent with the intuition of equality (which is == elsewhere) in any case. shap On Thu, 2008-07-17 at 17:10 -0400, Jonathan S.
