[pure-lang-users] Prefix operator and -1

[David B. <dh...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have a quite Pure (0.4) question.  This is what I want, but in
prefix-form not infix-form:

    > -1*A;
    -1*A

I tried a couple of other possibilities, but without success:

    > (*) (-1) A;
    (-1)*A

    > (*) -1 A;
    (*)-1 A

For comparison, this is what I get with Q:

    ==> -1 * A;
    -1*A

    Yay!
    ==> (*) (-1) A;
    -1*A

    ==> (*) -1 A;
    (*)-1 A
