The loop/break program does not perform identically under Icon and Unicon:
under Unicon, the default random "?" produces a different sequence without
initialization while the Icon version prduces an identical sequence.
I suspect we are going to have this kind of problem with a number of
Unicon functions where enhancements may or may not be evident in the
code. As the examples improve, we may want to demo more clearly the
enhancements.
So...please, either comment the code and/or put it back under Unicon.
As an old natural language student, I developed a servere dislike of
looking up a word and being directed to a different part of the
dictionary. So while I appreciate the motivation for the Icon/Unicon
cross-references, I don't like them.
