Ask Robert to fix this bug? The beauty of an interpreted language is that it is
easier to
provide for exceptions to the existing behavior, and this is a great example. If
the
program syntax is a comparison, return a atomic byte value. Simple, no? I said
byte
value because it's an atom, and Pascal allowed for "fuzzy" true/false values.
