I don't think there should be any upper limit for operator-lengths. e.g. When teaching perl to my little brothers (still at primary school) I might want to use alphabetical userdefined operators: print 1 + 5 - 4 / 2 print one plus five minus four divided_by two (and same in finnish) näytä yksi plus viisi miinus neljä jaettuna kaksi At least it wouldn't harm anyone to allow this. -- Markus Laire 'malaire' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
