- abalje47@ursa.calvin.edu (Alan Baljeu) asks about branching in the proposed
- standard:
-
- I haven't fetched the newest draft yet, but assuming it hasn't changed in any
- unintended way, look at section 6.3.13 (Process-End-of-Statement). You'll see
- that two of the possible four patterns involve branches; one returns ESCAPE for
- the 'niladic' branch-arrow, the other returns a BRANCH for 'monadic'
- branch-arrow. The upshot is that branching hasn't changed from the previous
- standard.
-
- By the way, inquiries about the proposed ISO standard should properly be
- addressed to the mailing-list at the following address:
