[email protected] forms a train which then has nothing to do with agenda (unless the gerund m itself contains @.).
[email protected] is a verb where [email protected] y computes vy to result in a single index which selects a single verb from the gerund m, which is then applied to y. Analogously for x [email protected] y . Historically, [email protected] was defined and implemented before [email protected] . ----- Original Message ----- From: Jose Mario Quintana <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009 8:20 Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Wrong agenda?
