I agree that the ~ notation is preferred over the trailing dot. In RPL, dot is used frequently and for many things already, so IMHO it's best to use a new notation such as ~ to keep the intended use unambiguous, even if it is possible to add the trailing dot notation to an already complex parsing process.

Just one man's opinion.

And thanks Claudio, Han, etc. for the interesting glimpses into the evolution of newRPL. Rare to see the conceptual and design process evolve as it happens.
