No fair to ignore my examples to the contrary. I think you're confusing language syntax with language semantics. Or can you define ``intrinsic expressiveness'' in terms of anything but syntax? Are composable functions part of the ``intrinsic expressiveness'' of Q? I'd also like to point out that real-world programmers really don't care whether a solution is part of ``the intrisic expressiveness'' of a language as long as it is ``programmable in it.'' Okay, okay, so I shouldn't bring up real-world programming issues in a computer science discussion. Sorry. ---Dan
