The problem with this is that

f !x y

would associate differently in an expression than it does on the left hand side of an equation, where ! is the prefix bang-pattern operator. To make this consistent we'd have to make ! a prefix operator in expressions, or give it the same precedence as function application; both mean a new extension.

Hmm.. that is another possible solution to the ~ ! - thing, have ~ and ! be prefix operators in general. with ~ meaning 'negate' in expressions. then parsing is the same everywhere. John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
