1) personally, I would use the "%", but this is the comment sign and
can't be used.
(perhaps this would be even possible, but ... NO!)
Oh my gosh, please, NOOO!!!!
As Han-Wen has said, parsing is important. In another life I work with a
language called DataBasic. What do you thing of the following line of
code:
REM: REM = REM(6, 4) ; REM This is an example of a horrendous line.
Here we have REM used consecutively as (1) a label, (2) a variable, (3)
a function, and (4) a language command. Now imagine how easy that is to
lex/parse... because it IS legal syntax ! :-(
Cheers,
Wol
