All has been well... until I started working with a guy who has a copy of Skansholm in Swedish. Interestingly enough, his copy demonstrates the use of a case statement with something like this... when A ! B ! D => do_something; ...as opposed to what I'm familiar with... when A | B | D => do_something; I was even more amazed when the first version compiled and functioned in the same way as the second version. Has anyone come across this before? I've searched the LRM for clues, but I can't find any other reference to this syntax. Please reassure me that I'm not going mad!
