Re: [Bug-apl] defn error with ⍝

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi,

which one?

The first ∇ opens function im

The second ∇ is at the end of the comment and closes the function and
brings you back to immediate execution.

The third ∇ is the one below the comment line. It opens a function without a name,
which raised the DEFN error, just like:

      ∇
DEFN ERROR+
      ∇
      ^
      )MORE
Bad function header

In earlier versions of GNU APL the ∇ in the comment would belong to the function and
be ignored by the ∇-editor.

But then there was a request in bug-apl that a ∇ in a line of an open function should
not be parsed but instead close the function, which it now does. See

could someone give me a heads up why the ⍝ doesn't cover the ∇ in the line?
