[Jsdsi-devel] Re: Why?

[Sean R. <sra...@ae...>]

Luis,

(tag (* set foo))

is exactly equivalent in meaning to:

(tag foo)

It was decided that allowing a SetTag to be empty or contain only one
element was non-sensical and so should be disallowed - with any SetTag
that would contain only 1 element (resulting from intersection) to be
'converted' to the the element itself.

Sorry if it has caused you problems.

Do people want to re-visit this issue?

Sean
