Subject: Quantified Expressions: "some"

Date: 2010-11-17T01:03:02+01:00 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ce31bb6$0$7670$9b4e6d93@newsspool1.arcor-online.net> (raw)
AI05-0176 explains two new expressions,
(for all X in domain | P (X))
and
(for some X in domain | P (X))
Thus, "all" gets a new meaning and "some" is all new,
with a special, context dependent role of the word "some",
IIUC.
Will it still be English when this, in order to re-use a word
already reserved by Ada, uses the word "when" in place of the
new "some"?
(for when X in domain | P (X))
"When" is not the same as the mathematically correct (MC?)
wording. Perhaps unusual. But if programming in Ada is not the
same as writing mathematics, maybe "when" just emphasizes the
presence of a computing apparatus as an added benefit?
