@Jose I was just about to tell Don that. IMO this is a clumsy way of adjusting the behavior of a script at load time. It will trip up a beginner.
This is one of the first alterations I'd make. But I'm not sure what's the best way to do it. What first comes to mind is… (1) ask user to enter: CamelCase_z_=: 1 before loading the script. (2) (my preferred) Have alternative scripts, e.g. load 'general/lowercaseprimitives' NB. a trivial script which loads: general/primitives load 'general/CamelCasePrimitives' NB. makes the LIT adjustment, by any user-transparent way. This problem (of loading same script with different options) turns up frequently for me. What's the best-practice way of doing it, which is likely to be instantly understood by a beginner?
