I looked up Eric Raymond's Jargon File, and the word is common enough that it is not even defined.

I can see why you were offended. It is just a language misunderstanding.
Here, we talk geek (in the good way)

Here is another computer word which may be offensive: git - distributed version control system


If it were this simple, the thread would not be this long.
In HOME mode, HP Prime incorrectly parse it as variables, with implied multiply.

HOME> {48}[1]       → {48}*[1]       → {[48]}

Perhaps this is a bug ?

---------------------------------

I found the same limit with STRIP({48},DOM_FLOAT), posted earlier here by
me, when running it in PRIME emulator, it only works in calculator cas input mode. The reason are, that it's not the DOM_FLOAT that is doing the stripping. The stripping of the brackets from the enclosed numerical is done alone by storing and calling the enclosed argument. The only way without storing and calling it, are noted by, Didier ,using the head command, head({48}).

So I would still prefer a dedicated stripping command.

Fine, you accept a mistake.

Addition:
The list-Sum function will strip the brackets. It works both for {} and [].
