Prolog lets you do this, too. In Smalltalk, you can use just about any sequence of non-letters as an infix operator, but it has no notion of precedence, even for the built-in operators. I think SNOBOL may have had something for defining new operators, but I can't remember the details. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
