We don't end up with a number of fancy other features that have been discussed like returning junctions magically from subroutine calls or doing any(1,2,3)+2, etc. I just want to get that out in the air. I didn't think it was an issue for the sake of putting a junction on the rhs, but with more talk of junctions on the lhs, I think it may be an elephant in the room. -- rjbsThread Previous | Thread Next
