I am NOT actually suggesting a change to the language. I'm showing how to "solve" the "problem" of wanting to write chained method calls on a single line. I agree the solution is unreadable and worse than the problem. Any other proposed solution is merely bikeshedding the syntax and I think suffers from the same non-readability problem. For example these are essentially the same: _:= a ,_. append(4) ,_. sort() a :: append(4) :: sort() --- Bruce
