My immediate take was "this syntax is too ugly to live", but so are Gila monsters, and I don't understand the virtues that lead Nick and Guido to take this thread seriously. So I will just leave that statement here. (no vote yet) More constructively, I found it amusing that the results were stuffed into generic one-character variables, while the temporaries got actual words, presumably standing in for mnemonic identifiers. Besides moving the examples, that should be fixed if these examples are to be used at all. I'm also with Paul (IIRC) who suggested formatting the second example on multiple lines. I suggest s/x/filling/ (sandwich) and s/y/omelet/.
