Nope, the original code would work.You are of course correct that list context should capture matched values (Camel 3, p. 150).However, I think code has to compile before it will work :-)
Mainly I wanted to make sure that the list context thingy was understood. I didn't try this code, because, well, I'm not on VMS. =)
