<p><br /> This seams to be the same argument as the -1 thingy. Do we want -=
1 to mean - is an operator and 1 is a number or -1 to be an integer? Is 1+:=
2 a complex number or is 1+:2 and operator to create a complex number from =
reals 1 and 2? Too bad white space isn't significant because, then you coul=
d have the best of both worlds - 1 (with space) as a unary minus and -1 wit=
h no space as an integer; 1 +: 2 (with space) as a constructor for a comple=
x number and 1+:2 as complex number.</p><p>1+:2 * 3+:4 =3D=3D&gt; 11+:2</p>=
<p>1 +: 2 * 3 +: 4 =3D=3D&gt; 1+:10</p>I wish I new more about PL theory.<p=

&gt; I have mixed feelings about it.  Scheme of course does not have infix<=

Well, I see a rationale behind this, as :+ really is an addition<br />=0D
