Re: [Bug-apl] element

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Egan,

thanks. There are a few characters in Unicode that look similar.
For that reason there is a function Avec::map_alternative_char() in Avec::cc
that maps similar looking characters like ε/∈, ι/⍳, ~/∼ to the variant 
used in ⎕AV
and in user defined APL functions.

If you modify Avec.cc around line 241 like this:

case 0x220A: // map ∊ to ∈
case 0x03B5: return AV_ELEMENT; // map ε to ∈

then everything should be fine and there would be no need to change your 
keyboard map.

I have made that change in my sources; will be contained in the next SVN 
commit.
