Merely as a data point... Haskell uses '.' as a function composition operator (which is oft-used), and also (in a commonly used language extension) uses it for punctuation in hierarchical module names, with the effect that the operator form does require surrounding whitespace. In the case of function composition, this does aesthetically seem a reasonable way to write it, which I'm not sure would apply to arithmetic operators, but YMMV. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org> PGP: 0FAA 69FF C083 000B A2E9 A131 01B9 1C7A DBCA CB5E
