I'm also not interested in taking away good features of the Octave language. The vision is that Octave is a superset of Matlab--it can do everything Matlab does, and then some more. In this case, The single/double quote distinction is very familiar for anyone who has done any sort of programming, and it is also useful for making the strings more readable when they contain single quotes. Consider, 'I can''t understand, don''t want, shan''t accept losing double quotes' to "I can't understand, don't want, shan't accept losing double quotes" Of course, the devil is in the details and finding some way of accommodating string arrays will be important. --Rik |
