Did I miss April 1st? We seem to be discussing the merits of

    f of arg

as an alternative form of

   f(arg)

While I'm sure Cobol had some good points, I don't believe that this was one
of them...

If there is any merit to this proposal, it's very rapidly being lost in
examples of rewriting things which are simple function calls.

Paul.
