michel,
Some of the other problems may be a matter of personal preference. For
example, in some of the lines there is a wide space between the rule and
the comments. This can make it difficult to read these lines on a
braille display. Also, the comment character # is not usually necessary
between a rule and a comment, since the compiler takes only what it
needs for the rule and ignores anything else on the line. An exception
is the replace rule, where the second operand is optional.
More serious is that many characters above hex 80 appear to be defined
by
both
uplow rules and sign rules. This may confuse the forward translator and
will almost certainly cause trouble in back-translation, because the
same character is defined as both a letter and a sign. I did not check
this in detail. I'm thinking of having the compiler print warning
messages in such cases. This would be controlled by a bit in the mode
parameter.
