In many contexts, "X is not defined in context Y" is equivalent to "it is an error to use X in context Y (but the system may or may not signal the error)". I think `"\=" never matches a string' is a _plausible_ interpretation of the construct in this context; I think it's a good candidate for correct, too. Whichever you choose (I haven't thought carefully, I don't really care) make sure the documentation is fixed to reflect the implementation accurately. "Not defined" is ambiguous. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
