Hi all,
When writing a long expresion, one usually would like to break it into multiple
lines. Currently, you may use a '\' to do so, but it looks a little awkward
(more like machine-oriented thing). Therefore I start wondering why not allow
line breaking at an operator, which is the standard way of breaking a long
expression in publication? Here is an example:
#the old way
x = 1+2+3+4+\
1+2+3+4
#the new way
x = 1+2+3+4+ #line continues as it is clearly unfinished
1+2+3+4
Of course, the dot operator is also included, which may facilitate method
chaining:
x = svg.append( 'circle' ).
r(2).cx(1).xy(1).
foreground('black').bkground('white')
Thoughts?
