And yet they have to learn his Uber-Special Custom Function Extended Language. If adding syntax is bad, surely adding functions is bad too. And yet, I don't see very many people arguing for a return to unstructured code. In fact, the ability to add syntax is as important as the ability to add functions; it's a second order of structure. -- Robert Uhl <http://public.xdi.org/=ruhl> Face it--Bill Gates is a white Persian cat and a monocle away from being a Bond villain. --Dennis Miller -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
