This is a request for comment.
Currently OpenAxiom (and any AXIOM flavour) uses the export `escape'
from the Character domain as name for the underscore character.
I'm planning to change that. Here is the proposed change:
-- introduce a new export `underscore' to designate the underbar
character (what the current `escape' export designates.)
-- modify the `escape' export to designate the escape character (fro
the ASCII table).
The rationale for the change is that the existing semantics of the
export is almost useless. Understand (_) is the escape character of the
Spad syntax, but it is better to just call it by its name: underscore.
That makes room to name the escape character... escape!
