But for the moment I'm on vacation. I can read and write a little bit of mail, but won't be able to test it the coming week. I will take a look at it the week after that, though.

Some issues are (1) should <<<foo>>> print GW> the type? (2) should we make a new operator based on <<<>>> for GW> printing foo to arbitrary file handles (stdout, stderr, files, GW> etc.)? We will likely bring back chucking to file handles (foo GW> => stdout), so <<<>>> won't be the only option. Thoughts? Myself, I never understood why "<<<foo>>>" should be used instead of "foo => stdout" in the first place, and I would certainly be interested in "chucking" data to arbitrary file descriptors (sockets and named pipes comes to mind) ... Given the existence of "foo => stdout", I would consider "<<<foo>>>" beeing more of a debugging facility, and so thinks it seems reasonable to include the type. -- Rasmus Kaj --+-- rasmus@kaj.se --+-- http://www.stacken.kth.se/~kaj/ Money is the root of all evil, and man needs roots
