What would be the advantage of that over this?
. x = sqrt(a) + sqrt(b) where: . a = 2.0 . b = 3.0
The idea of "where" is to allow re-using variable names instead of having to keep track of which ones are in use. I just tried to give a very simple example of how you might do that more than once in a statement.
I think having to keep the names unique within the statement you are currently writing is a reasonable request :)
Cheers, Nick
