Re: [Bug-apl] Feature suggestion: multiple function arguments

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Elias,

this is quite feasible technically. What I don't like, though is the 
incompatibility
that it creates for the source code.

Suppose I write a function Z←AؠB. Who else except myself can decipher
what it is supposed to mean? I strongly believe that restriction names
to almost only ASCII letters (and writing the names in English) is a very
good convention that we should not easily give up.
