Many people read (< a b c) as "a less than b less than c". I think this defeats the purpose of a function-application prefix syntax. I even find the function name "less" to be slightly misleading since the values have to /increase/ from left to right for "less" to return true. Well, anyway. -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder. Act from faith, and failure makes you blame someone and push harder.
