I see what you mean, its convenient. I also realise that this construct
is already an established device in other languages.
Unfortunately, there is another thing: How likely is it that existing
code does (perhaps accidentally) something like
{P _X}
instead of
{P _ X}
So far, the compiler treats both the same.
declare
X=1
proc {P X Y} {Browse X#Y} end
{P _X}
Could introducing the notation _X as a single value break existing code?
Best,
Torsten
