arguments and strings1998-01-27 14:52:09Currently, concensus on arguments is that "a" "b" => "ab". But for a command like fubar "a" "b"; where fubar is a command that takes two string arguments, this is ambiguous; this is either the same as fubar ("a") ("b"); which is a "legal" construct, and fubar "ab"; which would be an error. We need to resolve this, either by making all strings enclosed in string-lists, or by making strings not (automatically) concatenate. Opinions? -- Tim Showalter tjs+(_at_)andrew(_dot_)cmu(_dot_)edu
