This is strange:
   =20
    sequence s
    s =3D {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
    s [2..4] =3D 99
    ?s

instead of displaying {1,99,5,6,7,8,9}
it displays {1,99,99,99,5,6,7,8,9}

it would be more logical if it would do the thing nr 1.


AND:

?routine_id ("power")
why is this -1? this is also not logical.

I know why these two things do what they do but they are not logical, or =
say intiuitive.
