Re: [Bug-apl] Parsing Function Headers

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Mike,

it used to be forbidden but then we came across a library which was
doing things like that (the Toronto Toolkit, see http://www.gnu.org/software/apl/Bits_and_Pieces/).
I then did some tests with IBM APL2 and they allow it (when creating a function). The function
most likely won't work, but who knows.
