that is not a bad idea, I was against adding infix stuff to lisp till i saw this this makes 1 still act like lisp and 2 look nice without any sort of additional syntax, good job eds.

Which 1 and 2 are you referring to exactly? The only points I see right now are those in the previous discussion but those don't entirely make sense in view of your comments.

I was really glad when cadaver suggested this solution to infix syntax. I just don't like the look of expressions like

  +[*[2; f[x/3]]; y]
even if your syntax allows you to shorten math expressions to (for example)

  2*f[x/3]+y
because in my opinion you lose on everything else. But now I'm just rambling....

I think treef was simply enumerating the good points.
