put "chart" into tType ; put "100" into tSize ; doSomething tType, tSize
That is a one liner too. So what? Are we averse to carriage returns? If it's that big a deal someone could write a function that takes > doSomething type="chart" size="100" and converts it to: > doSomething put "chart" into type ; put "100" into size ; doSomething type, > size and then replaces it in your script editor with a hotkey. I just think the whole thing is majoring in the minors. > That's possible in R, Python, CSS, and others, but not natively in LC. I suppose lots of things are possible in other languages. Are we trying to be just like all the other languages?
