Hmm. What *I* would mean, anyway, would be that @a gets pushed nine elements: ([1,2,3], 1, 2, 3, [1,2,3], 1, 2, 3, [1,2,3]). And that works under my proposal. But I may have an idiosyncratic idea of WIM. :-) But I think Dan's right. I think we should just let this drop for now, let Larry take a look at the mess we've gotten ourselves into, and let him decide whether he needs to Rule-2 something or not. Trey
