Try "if x is a number then..." Disambiguation then becomes a simple
matter of "if both x and y are numbers then add them, otherwise
concatenate them".
Perhaps Foxpro has stronger variable typing than xTalk.
"123" and "456" are strings AND numbers in Revolution; so would
"Foxpro syntax" like
"123" + "456"
resolve to 579 or "123456"?
