Anthony,

 I wasn't aware of that. Well, then we can't use that to call user
functions in a more English-like way. But if I read the above right, "ln of
e" would still call any user functions, as it doesn't have a "the", so
maybe we could use that to our advantage. Very likely HC doesn't support
the above syntax ... ?
