Han, I understand your point of view but 'It should remain that way as never before we...' is not a good argument.

I remember RPL+ of Oliver Unter Ecker. He use for example these kinds of syntax :

5 =A as an alternative to 5 'A' STO
5 =+A as an alternative to 5 'A' STO+
++A as an alternative to 1 'A' STO+

Less keystrokes and better lisibility in my opinion. Just a question of parser. I don't see any problem here.

By the way, if M is the matrice [ [ 1 2 ] [3 4] ], you can do with the 50

`M(1,2)` instead of { 1, 2 } 'M' GET
or
`M(a+b,c+d)` instead of a b + c d + 2. -> LIST 'M' GET
or
8 'M(1,2*c)' STO

so why no operator attached to a symbol ? Exemple :

M(1,2) @without space
M(a+b,c+d) @without space
8 =M(1,2*c)
2 =*M(a,b)
++M(a,b)
A B * =M
M =MyNewMatrix
'sin(a)+cos(b)' =f

If the parser can manage this in an efficiant way,I see only advantages in term of lisibility and efficiency.)

Perhaps postfix notation will be better. ( M+= etc.)
