i like this idea! but i tink that it's too late for such incompatible change :(
really, unary operators can be added to language without any troubles. we need only to prohibit using of the same symbol for unary and binary operators:
unary 9 #
#n = n-1
f = #1-1
we can even allow prefix and postfix operators as long as they all have different names
The notable exception in this case, '-' (or anything starting with -), which breaks block comment syntax (see my earlier example). Bob
