[transferring over to the haskell list ...]
(After being surprised by a type error from writing "ppInt -42"...)
I allegedly wrote:
I reckon -42 should be a lexeme. If someone wants the bizarre business
above, they can write -(42).
Brian Boutel responded (in part...):
But then x-1 will not be parsed as a subtraction, and it would be
necessary to write x- 1. I think this cure is worse than the disease.
Not being a crypto-Fortran hacker, I would always write "x - 1" anyway
1/2 :-) People who don't put spaces in their programs deserve what
they get.
Yours for longer longest lexemes,
