Thank you. This is the type of precise definition I was asking for in my previous post (your timing was superb!) I'm not sure I *like* the proposal, but I need to come up with some reasonable justification for my feeling, whereas for previous proposals the "I don't understand what you're suggesting" was the overwhelming feeling, and stifled any genuine discussion of merits or downsides. Paul PS I can counter a suggestion of using *f(t) rather than from f(t) in the above, by saying that it adds yet another meaning to the already heavily overloaded * symbol. The suggestion of "from" avoids this as "from" only has a few meanings already. (You can agree or disagree with my view, but at least we're debating the point objectively at that point!) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
