| Summary | 0000447: Provide "=" as another way to write "#calc" in dictionaries. | ||||
| Description | I was very glad to see the new #calc directive introduced in 2.1 as a shortcut for #codeStream, allowing great ease of use for run-time code compilation. I have been using it extensively to prepare parametric dictionaries. I think this feature might be even nicer to use if the syntax "=" instead of "#calc" was allowed. That is to say c = "$a/$b"; would mean the same thing as c #calc "$a/$b"; | ||||

Interesting idea. However the #calc is a preprocessing directive, i.e. gets evaluated at parsing time. The '=' just gets parsed as another word into the dictionary. Giving '=' another meaning would mean not being able to use it in any context. |
