Those parentheses had better not be invisible, as they can change the meaning of the expression! For amusement, I just spent 20 minutes adding lisp-style expressions to one of my languages. Not a full treatment, but enough to be able to do: a:=10 b:=100 c:=20 println a+(b-5)/(c+47) println lisp(+ a (/ (- b 5) (+ c 47))) Both display 11.41791. So if there are any advantages in writing expressions lisp-style, you can have these and still keep the rest of the program normal. You can have the best of both worlds! What this approach can't do is to be able to apply 'quote' to such an expression, and use it as data or as a macro or however it works. But that isn't needed for the majority of normal coding. Ben said however that you can see the 'head' operation, and you can in my example. -- Bartc
