1. BNF description of Euphoria
Hey all,
Does anyone know if a BNF-like syntax description of Euphoria
has been written down anywhere? I looked in the docs and didn't
see anything. The reason I ask is, I'm curious about exactly what
characters are allowed in procedure/function names--and variable
names too, I suppose (for quite a while I thought EU variable names
couldn't contain digits, although I don't know where I picked that
up from.) I know characters, digits, and underscores are legal, but
what about tildes, etc.?
I figure I could test a couple dozen empty procedures, varying
in name only by one character, but figured that if anyone knew
offhand, it would save me and others the trouble. And it might
help others understand the language, too.
Thanks,
Rod Jackson

No, and last anyone asked, Robert didn't have one. I was going to put one
together when I was working on Gnuphoria, but never got around to it. It
would be a good thing to have.
