[Gretl-devel] Proposal for a syntax change

Hi all, since release is near, I feel it may be a good time to propose a backward-incompatible change that IMHO sooner or later we'll have to make: originally, we had "|" and "&" for logical operations. Then, when matrices appeared, we used the same operators for concatenation (mostly, because that's what everybody else uses). At the same time, we also support "||" and "&&" for logical operators. This, I think, creates an ugly ambiguity which should be resolved by specialising "|"-"~" for concatenation and "||"-"&&" for logical operations. Do you agree?
