[8.5.2] EsScanner>>#nextToken minor discrepancy

Administrator

EsScanner>>#nextToken will prohibit using a minus character as the second position of a binary selector, but it will allow it for the corresponding Symbol literal.

e.g., I can have the Symbol:

#--

but I cannot have the binary selector:

--

This isn't a significant issue. It would be worse in the opposite case.
(And of course the best way to resolve this is to implement the ANSI specification of binarySelector.)

Thanks, Seth. I hope the reason you will be in there will be to support ANSI binarySelectors!

Re: [8.5.2] EsScanner>>#nextToken minor discrepancy

Hi Richard,

Well, I'll actually be working more with the compiler, but I see there is an existing case 50484 to address ANSI binary selectors that has been scheduled to be reviewed for the next release. So we will be having a discussion on it soon.
