I've been thinking about about -- too. What we could do is to interpret - and -- as minus, and -whitespace- as minus a negative. We don't have a unary minus operator, so the later would only appear when subtracting a negative integer. The main danger I see in this scheme would be people coming from other languages not being aware of the -- operator and writing x--y instead of x - -y. > On Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 09:10:51AM -0700, subvers...@hamsterrepublic.com > wrote: >> teeemcee >> 2012-08-27 09:10:51 -0700 (Mon, 27 Aug 2012) >> 130 >> < and > can now be used instead of << and >> >> >> Why didn't we do this over 7 years ago, when I fixed operator lexing to >> allow this?! >> --- >> U wip/hspeak.exw >> U wip/plotscr.hsd >> U wip/whatsnew.txt >> _______________________________________________ >> Ohrrpgce mailing list >> ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org >> http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org >> > _______________________________________________ > Ohrrpgce mailing list > ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org > http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
