However, I fail to see how cutting out the "line noise" would make it easier to decipher (I can, however, see how splitting it into several expressions, possibly after signing travel papers for the programmer, would improve it immeasurably). Could you post the proposed "new code", along with explanations of the proposed syntax? That way us "people will die of suffocation at speeds above 12kmh" old-fashioned perl4-head !@#$&*#@$[->}})[-lovers will have a concrete proposal in front of our eyes. I contend that any consistently extendable proposal will lead to horrors at least on the scale of the example above. I hate the example above! Please prove me wrong!
