I see. I thought it was parsed inside the function, but if it's parsed before then quoting is the only option. To Keith: no, I mean it like this "A + B => C" which is translated as: "the union of A and B is sufficient for C" in set theoretic language. The "=>" operator means sufficiency, while "<=" means necessity. Quoting the expression is good enough, I was just curious if the quotes could be made redundant, somehow.
