It doesn't mention doing what you are proposing. It talks about how the engine evaluates what is and isn't a point. In the example the addition in 22+3,23 is calculated before the engine works out if it's a point to 25,23. However "22+3,23" is just treated as a string and therefore not a point. I like your idea but it would lead to ambiguous code: should 2,2 + 3,3 evaluate to 5,5 or 2,5,3 ? It would work in the add, subtract, multiply, divide commands though assuming they aren't coupled to +,-,*,/ add 5 to 2 -- 7 add 5 to 2,3 -- 7,8 add 5,2 to 2,3 --7,5 The same would work for rects.. indeed as long as the number of items either match or what you are adding, subtracting, multiplying by or dividing by is a number. A nice idea that would be good to discuss on the engine list.
