Hmm, my "sarcasm detector" appears to be going off the scale here... :p

I'm not sure I entirely understand your comments about assigning to 
constants. However, regarding variable declarations and assignments 
outside of routines, obviously Euphoria follows different rules outside 
routines than within them. Which is confusing enough. Allowing "integer 
var = val" outside of routines but not within them would simply be 
adding confusion to confusion. And Rob's stated reasons for not allowing 
"integer var = val" within routines seem perfectly sensible to me.


Cheerios,
