Sneaky. If we generalize that preparser rule and suppress the * generation, we can finally accept lisp syntax! The problem with introducing a new reserved keyword is that people are presently free to use "mod" as a variable and with the new preparser rule their code would break, e.g. mod = pi/2 sin(mod) is now valid, but would be preparsed to sin*mod() which probably is invalid or at least very likely has a different result. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
