The KLF need to realize that TUPLE:'s aren't very common per file. So the saving of 4 keystrokes here and there per slot for something that appears only a few times seems not that great. But if you use a different syntax overloading, or a syntax completely different from anything else, then the fact that TUPLE: usage does not pop up a lot (compared to word definitions for example) means the overhead of remembering what that special syntax is seems to be more of a burden. :-) Chris. -- http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
