Steven,
The later syntax is definite possible, but we don't support it at the
moment. It wasn't something I saw in the other rule engines, so I
decided to be conservative with my approach. But there is no reason why
that can't be passed and the following produced in the engine.
Cell(value == 0, size > 0, options contains $x, row == 1 || col == 2 ||
block == 3)
->
Cell(value == 0, size > 0, options contains $x, row == 1 ) ||
Cell(value == 0, size > 0, options contains $x, col == 2 ) ||
Cell(value == 0, size > 0, options contains $x, block == 3)
Make a jira request and I will look into this for 3.1. It's trivial to
add, but I'm concerned the impact this might have on users who don't
understand what this generates.

I guess I should be using:
Cell(row == 1) || Cell(col == 2)
but if I am also matching on many other columns this becomes a little
unwieldy:
Cell(value == 0, size > 0, options contains $x, row == 1) || Cell(value ==
0, size > 0, options contains $x, col == 2) || Cell(value == 0, size > 0,
options contains $x, block == 3)
I would find this is easier to read:
Cell(value == 0, size > 0, options contains $x, row == 1 || col == 2 ||
block == 3)

I was wondering if there was a way to do ORs across columns without using
eval?
For instance, instead of doing:
Cell($r : row, $c : col)
eval($r == 1 || $c == 2)
do:
Cell(row == 1 || col == 2)
I tried the above syntax but it seems to ignore the part after the or
completely (ie. it matches on all cells in row 1 only).
thanks
Steve
