OK, so I'm getting close to having everything work (<<>> gave me a hard time, but I tamed it in the end). I noticed something weird about the <> construct:
pugs> %a (('1' => 'a'), ('1 2' => 'both'), ('2' => 'b')) pugs> %a{<1 2>} 'both' pugs> %a{1,2} ('a', 'b') pugs> %a{<1 2>,()} ('a', 'b') I tried to look into things, and it seems that <1 2> acting like a scalar when it's inside a hash subscript, but nowhere else; when I forced the final parameter of doFetch to be False (Eval.hs line 402) I got the correct result. I have no idea what's going on in there, so I thought I might throw this out to whoever does. I'll try to go in deeper later, but sleep and homework await me. (Also, I'm waiting for the repository to come back up, I want the history). Incidentally, %a<1 2> does work in the current version, but that's because it's not a real quoting construct (which means it doesn't interpolate \>, for example). I found the bug when I tried to make %a<1 2> act like "real" <>, and broke it. Oh, I'm on r2044.
