As you can see by the way I phrased it there, I never claimed that Bret or  
I was the _sole_ inventor ;)

And you're absolutely right, I might have picked up "INT xx.yy" from  
somewhere and extended it to the "Intxx.yy(yy).zz=ww(ww).vvv" I explained  
in the other message later on.

Right. I didn't mean to imply it was more than a preference when I said "I  
prefer to".

That doesn't even figure into it though, as I am not aware of any  
assemblers or interpreters (yet) that would directly read a command of the  
form Intxx.yy... to execute it.
