I don't want to have generated code just to recognise expressions. It doesn't feel like a restriction per se, just a choice. HLL is fine. How the compiler is compiled doesn't matter. ... > > 3.

I would rather the result is easy to understand but I don't mind too much how the tables are generated. James
