<my 2 cents> What about "Doing substitutions by calling a symbolic expression is deprecated; use EXPR(x=...,y=...) or equivalently EXPR.subs(x=..., y=...) instead" ? That way people who prefer one idiom over the other will see the one they like, and hopefully nobody is confused into thinking they are different. </my 2 cents> Cheers, Jason Bandlow --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
