How many people actually do that? Should they be doing that? IMHO I'd force people to use whitespace for concatenation in this case (i.e. 123 . 456) and have 123.456 be a floating point number. That's how Perl works, for example. --Antony --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
