hi,
Frank Barknecht:

if somebody really needs that - i dont ;)
ok, i give up. i think we are on a rather philosophical point now.
but i had a lot of times when students where asking why they have to
write [f $0]-[foobar $1( instead of [foobar $0(. so this came up from a
users point of view.
after getting all your input (thanks). i think Claude brought up the
most logical solution, because this makes the different functions of $
obvious and obsolete. And it would help users and devs. (i know it will
be a long way - cause it will break some patches ... :( )

not a nightmare, but this is one point why Pd is harder to learn for
beginners than it has to.
