Well, OK, the cosine example was badly chosen (it would still be very wired in terms of common syntax and semantics), but I think you got my point. Changing internal behaviour mostly causes more trouble as it's worth. In the end, you probably can access the parser to do this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
