Re: [Bug-apl] Back to underline

[Blake McBride]

My own opinion:

1.  Very strongly -  ⍴,'A̲'  has got to equal 1 no matter what !!

2.  I like having lowercase letters even though the old APL didn't.

3.  I wouldn't mind adding the underscored letters too, but making them _in addition_ to lowercase letters only.

4.  _In addition_ to the current input method, I would like to see backspace combination entry too if possible.

Thanks.

The problem with ⍴'A̲' is that it looks like one character but is actually two. I guess if I would implement combining
underline today, then this would come as a trouble report tomorrow at latest.

I haven't seen a machine with lowercase and underlined characters myself, but it seems to exist (and is it a Unicode
machine?). IBM APL2 for PC seems not to have underlined characters.
