So I think we have two action plans for now :
1) find another (ideally short) name for "len" which doesn't match "len"
nor "id" nor "table" nor "if" nor "unless". Etienne initially proposed
"strlen" but I thought that it's a bit long for such a common use case.
Ideas welcome.
Unfortunately, for now we have to rename it. But I'm fine with "strlen",
which follows the description in the documentation.
2) kill this outdated way of unreliably parsing expressions among multiple
words for 1.9. It even prevents us from improving the sample expressions
language (ie: I'd love to have a stack-based language but we can do
nothing if we can't even add reliable operators).
Yes, it was difficult to understand the goal of each part of this
function and I fear that any minimal modification inside it can
introduce side effects on one feature or another ;-/
