I just read Synopsis 3, and I have several questions.
1) Synopsis 3 says that the difference between $x ?| $y and $x || $y

short-circuits?

I may have a possible solution. Disclaimer: I do not really understand
continuations, so I may be completely wrong.
This idea involves two assumptions:
1. Most Parrot code will not use continuations except for returning.
(There will be a significant efficiency loss otherwise.)
2. The most ex

Apologies if this is common knowledge, but it was news to me, and I

The real problem is that you always want to use exactly the same code for
ALL cases of string-to-float conversion. The first public example of this
problem was the FORTRAN II compiler from IBM in the 60's. The compiler and
the IO library was written by two different people and so constants in

Imcc is reading text files. A text file has a newline on *each* line.
