Yup. It would be cool to be able to overload &&, ||, and ! to implement Lukasiewiczian logic within a given scope. I'm no expert, but I wrote a short essay explaining Lukasiewiczian logic. See http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/read.cgi?id=20020904&tid=389032 Trivia: Jan Lukasiewicz is the Polish in "Reverse Polish Notation". Trivia 2: my mom, Carole O'Sullivan nee Lucas, says Lukasiewicz is probably my second cousin fifteen times removed, or something like that. It's probably my best credentials in the math world. -Miko -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
