What it the difference? I agree that "%" is slightly better notation than
"mod",
but that is totally insignificant, and since we are stuck with "mod",
I see no reason to change it.
Because mixing/combining a word (identifier) with a symbol, well for me: it
hurts my eyes.
As I said, I agree, "a mod b" looks worse than "a % b",
but that was Wirth's decision, and the difference is so small
I do not think it is really an issue.
I don't have a problem with "a mod b" => only with "a mod= b"
mod is a keyword, it therefore follows the rule (as identifier) that it
consists of certain chars only (a-z, underscore, digits, but not leading)
:= += are symbols => they do not consist of said chars
mod= is what exactly?
