Seeing it in an example, I love this suggestion. And re its spelling, that's a very good feature, because it'll slowly teach me how to spell this word. And when I know how to spell it, I can use it on IRC without dict(1)ing to see if I remembered correctly. This will eventually save me hours! :) > I should point out I'm rethinking the idea of whether or not whether and > not should be list operators. Nice use of both languages. I've wondered today how their being list ops would work in practice. Does it work like any(), all(), or is only one of the elements evaluated?
