Don't work too hard on that--we'll probably find some way of making those semantics explicit, perhaps with a separate function, perhaps with an optional argument. (Now that builtins are just functions out in * space, we can probably afford to throw a few more convenience functions out there for common operations like word splitting and whitespace trimming. (Specific proposals to p6l please.)) Larry
