Although it would complete the set, in the months since I first started wanting <->, I have not been able to come up with a good reason to want write-only binding. A special case of <> parsing for <-> is not a big thing, but adding a special case for <- would be, because the difference between /^-$/ and /^-.*/ is potentially extremely huge. (Note that only to the human eye it is a special case, and can look like <>, if the parser is smart enough to simply try <-> as a whole before trying to match <>. I wouldn't suggest actually parsing <.*> first and then seeing if the .* happened to equal '-' :)) Juerd -- http://convolution.nl/maak_juerd_blij.html http://convolution.nl/make_juerd_happy.html http://convolution.nl/gajigu_juerd_n.html
