without clear indication that a value is returned, it's like a statement... Any other imaginative way to indicate that a construct returns a value, other than using braces...? as 'just braces' will confuse people using _() a lot. (side note : x := (when condition use truevalue otherwise falsevalue); looks more like : keyword before expression template; needs 3 keywords however. and still looks like a statement... ) > Andreas > el es _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
