What I meant was, would the use of "foreign" identifiers look so horrible to you if the core language had fewer English keywords? (Perhaps Perl, with its line-noise, was a poor choice of example. Maybe Lisp would be better, but I'm not so sure of my Lisp as to make such an assertion for it.) -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" -- Arthur C.
