[Gretl-devel] 'for' not reserved

Hi, another question on whether it's intended (or wise...) or not: <hansl> clear for = 1 # works print for # prints out 1 function void for(void) # gretl doesn't complain print "ouf" end function for() # error "unexpected (" </hansl> First, I'm wondering whether 'for' shouldn't simply be made a reserved word. One fallout from the present situation is that this: 'loop for(i=0;......' --i.e. without a blank after 'for'-- doesn't work. No big thing, of course. Secondly, a totally different thing -- and this applies to every identifier, not just 'for' as above: If 'for' is already a variable, you can define a function with the same name, but then you cannot call it. Wouldn't it be better if gretl already complained when it encounters the function definition? thanks, sven
