A transposition of the parameters of a binary operator? Well, transpositions are occasionally denoted by ticks: $a op' $b === $b op $a $a <=>' $b === $b <=> $a $a cmp' $b === $b cmp $a $a leg' $b === $b leg $a ... hmmm ... $a -' $b === $b - $a $a /' $b === $b / $a $a **' $b === $b ** $a ... and just to complete the madness ... $a =' $b === $b = $a ... ... transposed assignment! :-) Somehow I think Huffman may have something to say about this. :) Eirik -- "So this is the Sword of Immortality?
