So, well, my first question on this list is admittedly somewhat simple, but I managed to delay it long enough and now I think I should ask about it: Does ($) have any relevance at all except for being a somewhat handier version of parentheses?

In addition to the other responses, I add this: The section expression ($v) -- for some value v appropriate appropriate to the source code context -- is sometimes very useful. (I think the other feature -- lower precedence of $ w.r.t normal function application -- is covered by your question.) #g ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
