Oh, you're right. Though why does it work most of the time, but fails
depending on the exact surrounding .tex text (outside of the MP code)?
Maybe related: mpost never noticed my syntax error before. That
function defn has used the := syntax for about 3 years (the vcs tells
me that I put in that function in March, 2010).
With my mpost today, it also works. Here's a minimal .mp file that
worked (using MetaPost version 1.504):
def r_ladder :=
draw unitsquare scaled 1cm
enddef;
beginfig(1)
r_ladder;
endfig;
end
hm, interesting, i wonder what the difference is in = and := in such a def
