Hi All, So far, I count 3 people for the idea and 3 people opposed.
Can we be sure that a relaxation of Jess's rigor won't have unintended side effects or future negative consequences? If it can be shown that these are negligible, then I might be persuaded to vote for "pattern relaxation". Dave Barnett made the point that programming requires discipline, and I agree. Ernest: Why not just implement some Jess statement like (do-relaxed-matching) that forces Jess to collapse stings and symbols as well as numeric types where appropriate? Place it just like the (do-backward-chaining) statement in a Jess file. Leave Jess as it is by default. Any more lurking opinions out there?
