Examples

  • The fact that variables have type subscripts precludes the more usual exploitations of subscripting for purposes such as indicating position in a sequence.

  • Mann has since tried to argue that the subscripting was intentional, even if the calculation is not then “standard”.

  • Patrick: we don't want to do subscripting that much anyway if I assign Whatever to a scalar and use that within a subscript, does it work as a term? played with having the parser detect a Whatever it set a flag saying "You have to thunk this." that doesn't help if it's buried

  • In fact, it was only by parsing through this program that we were able to see why Mann’s PC results were so out-of-line with our attempts to replicate his PC calculations: there was what appears to be a subscripting error, certainly not beyond the realms of possibility in something programmed in as ugly a fashion as these calculations.
