It was a suggestion (you seems to really be afraid of this possible
confusion)

OT: seems the Celts heavily normalized the hash sign 3000 years before the

What's the new Professor Sir Tucker Taft's project ?

That's high-level language capability.

So that's to be added with the other project I've heard about here at
comp.lang.ada, about first-class-functions (it was during the thread about
making constant declarations overloadable if my mind is right) and the
pre-post-condition discussed here and on fr.c.l.a.

As Santa Claus seems to be actually checking orders, do you know if there
will be something like co-routines ? We already have tasks, but tasks are
a bit too much heavy as co-routines. I was to open a thread to investigate
this topic two weeks ago (I finally did not start it). I'm thinking about
it, beside another topic about unknown discriminants.

I use to think about this one , using the Unicode characters standing for
this kind of relationship operator and others, but this would not work
anyway in some editor/IDE, like GPS, and the ones looking like ASCII Art
(the actual ones), are easier to input.
