A case could even be made that it wasn't the right place when Ken hacked it around 1988, although a number of the changes were valuable and did make it into the standard (e.g. indexed initializations). -rob --upas-hgxarsmqszhvxwjiqabunkyhmf Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Tue Jul 16 13:20:34 EDT 2002 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Tue Jul 16 13:20:33 EDT 2002 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.16.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id CB88219AE0; Tue, 16 Jul 2002 13:20:10 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from gsyc.escet.urjc.es (gsyc064.dat.escet.urjc.es [193.147.71.64]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 8071B19A9D for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Tue, 16 Jul 2002 13:19:53 -0400 (EDT) Received: from gsyc.escet.urjc.es (217-124-22-123.dialup.nuria.telefonica-data.net [217.124.22.123]) by gsyc.escet.urjc.es (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id TAA05438 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Tue, 16 Jul 2002 19:19:51 +0200 X-Authentication-Warning: gsyc.escet.urjc.es: Host 217-124-22-123.dialup.nuria.telefonica-data.net [217.124.22.123] claimed to be gsyc.escet.urjc.es Message-ID: <3D3456EA.4B0BC1D4@gsyc.escet.urjc.es> From: FJ Ballesteros X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.78 [es] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: es MIME-Version: 1.0 To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu References: <624e56d4bc299dc1b5658d3a56c32c25@plan9.bell-labs.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [9fans] more extensions Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.11 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 19:24:58 +0200 Including tuples (perhaps as an instance of nameless structs) would simplify many interfaces, right? that's one thing I learned using Limbo. The extension would probably be not too complex, also. I don't have time to implement this during this semester, but would be willing to do so in the future if people from the Labs agree. Is there agreement on this? --upas-hgxarsmqszhvxwjiqabunkyhmf--
