I'd rather have a open discussion about that than have everything determined by a language specification. When the language specification was written we all had far less of a coherent idea of what ChucK was or should be than we now do.<br> </div></div><br>I might still have posted about this if the specifications explicitly demanded the current behaviour without a explanation of *why* it is this way.<br><br>I suppose I agree with you but discussions like this will lead to developments and specifications. I might go as far as saying there will be little development if we don't debate.<br> <br>Yours,<br>Kas.<br> _______________________________________________<br>chuck-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu">chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu</a><br>https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users<br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
