Well, not completely. ENTER ENTER should still duplicate into Y (as it does in RPL).

This sort-of still works in RPL (and Entry RPN), but you'd have to press ENTER twice in succession.

The behavior of ENTER is another thing that could break programs. Programs would need to be able to save, change and restore that setting, too.

By the way, what would be the advantage of this on a calculator like the 34S? Is it simply that some people are used to it and why not make it easier for them (not a bad goal IMO), or do you think it's a superior UI? If it's the latter, then could you please explain why?
