Patrick, Thanks for looking at this. I'll do a more careful look later. Here I wanted to comment on your proposed syntax changes.

It would need to wait until GLISS. And then, I would be opposed to it. I think that having a change in the meaning of a given symbol is very problematic. It causes me to be unable to understand both early and late source files, unless I understand the change in syntax.
