Besides C and descentants, no other language treats function parameters as local variables.
What am I missing? * You can assign to parameters in most languages. * You don't prefix parameters in some manner in most languages. * A parameter is shadowed by later declarations of variables with the same name in most languages.
I actually like a:,l:,g:,b: etc prefixes. They are useful in practice because in languages like C++, people tend to invent project-specific suffixes and prefixes to distinguish between method vars, local vars, etc. Vim codifies this. I find this convenient.
I have never seen anyone having a separate prefix for method variables and local variables. Instance variables, static variables, global variables, sure, for example, "m_", "s_", "g_".
"Incredibly nonstandard" ? Since when ALL programming languages obey one and the same standard ? From forth to lisp to vb.net to perl ? Where did you see common standard for all programing languages ? This thing does not exist. There are families of related languages with common features and spirit, yes, but where did you see "standard features" that programming language must obey ? This is ridiculous statement. There is no such thing.
Eh, that "incredibly nonstandard" refers to the nonstandard treatment of parameters. nikolai
