I see no reason to believe this is possible, or that your syntax is closer to this ideal than the existing syntax. Perhaps you should perform some experiments to prove intuitiveness? Science is more convincing than insults. Also, the "!" in negative assertions doesn't stand for "not equal" -- matches aren't equality. It stands for "not". It's the "=" that's a misnomer. -- Devin
