Feh. Me, what I'll do is what I always do when someone promulgates a stupid standard: ignore it. I'll proceed to use "or" as an identifier whenever it seems to be the appropriate name. I'll use ??= in strings when it seems appropriate. And if someone has problems porting my code because of this, that's too bad, but I refuse to cripple myself because others insist on crippling themselves. At least this time, a new header is required before the silliness becomes programmer-visible. der Mouse mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
