I wanted to process my list in chunks of 3, so I wrote
nvlist := []
every i := 1 to *longlist by 3 do
put(nvlist, longlist[i :+3])
every nv := !nvlist do
...
But instead of getting 1:3, 4:6, 7:9, 10:12
I got 1:2, 3:3, 6:3, 9:3
My thoughts are
1. i :+3 seems natural, because two indices are separated by :
and i is the first index.
2. I consulted the Unicon book, and found the "correct" way i +: 3
3. The result I got makes no sense at all to me.
I suggest one of three changes
1. make i:+3 the correct way
2. (preferred) make i :+3 give same results as i+:3
3. make i:+3 illegal, and tell me to use i+:3
