Sorry,
I did not read this post correctly:
I just wanted to say that repeat for each line tProtein in
tAllProteins sounds better than repeat for each line tLine in
tAllProteins.
As for the rest, the engine has to understand what you want :-)

Bonjour Rob,

Sometimes when writing code, I write things like
Repeat for each line protein in allProteins
Repeat for each char aminoAcid in protein
Etc etc
I'd really like this to look like this, defining a new function
'synonym'
make protein a synonym of line
make aminoAcid a synonym of char
Repeat for each protein in allProteins
Repeat for each aminoAcid in protein
Etc etc
Does the extensibility/flexibility make code easier or harder to
read/use?
Not mad at all :-)
More, it's 'perfect' English like xTalk, surely more understandable.
When you use tLine you think as an 'almost abstract' programmer;
using tProtein you rely on a biological process you want to set.
Just have a look at http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/
scriptstyle.html to mix names that make sense and some good habits
listed by Richard that will enforce understandability :-)
Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
