damian's syntax table and his use of the term vectorizing made me wonder why we call his [op] thing a hyperoperator? the word hyper i assume came from hyperdimensional. but calling [] the vectorizing (or just vectored) op variant makes much more sense.
@sum = @a [+] @b ; that reads as vector add @a and @b @sum [+]= @c ; vector add @c into @sum. @sum [+]= $c ; vector add assign $d to all of @sum. vector just has more history with this sort of operation. also damian's choice of [] makes it look like a vector thingy. so i will table a motion to rename hyper to vector and hope it doesn't get warnocked. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.stemsystems.com ----- Stem and Perl Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding ---- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org
