Seriously though, this should be corrected. I am reminded that in
Foxpro a plus "+" can add two numbers AND concatenate 2 strings.
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"?

It would resolve to "123456" because it would evaluate the operands
first and determine that they were strings. If you tried:
123 + "456" you would get a type mismatch error.
But as I said in another post, I would only be able to evaluate
variables at runtime. Literals are easy. Variables are only known at
runtime, in which case I am in Foxpro, not Revolution and so would
not be running my code converter.
