You're absolutely right. I've been meaning to make some proposals about where I think this should go, but it's been on the back-burner while I've been working on other things. Although, the one bit I did post - the integer expressions support - was met with deafening silence, which is a bit frustrating. It's late here in .au and my brain's turning to mush, but first thing tomorrow, I'll send out a brain dump of my thoughts on expression / macro / whatever support. Promise! It's not a complete proposed syntax - which is one of the reasons I haven't posted already - just thoughts, fragments, rationales and such. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
