Tricky. The most obvious and consistent syntax would be to have
something like:
> mfx EP 2,3,4 3.1,0,0.1
But what about decrement/increment operations? Would it be tedious to
ammend the grammar so that:
> mfx EP 2,3,4 3.1,0,+ 0.1
...works? I assume spaces are reserved as argument separators.
While we're on that topic, I never really liked that way of expressing
inc/dec operations, though we stuck with it for historical reasons (and
it's really not the end of the worls). I think +=, -=, etc. would be
more intuitive and faster to type, as they are located close to one
another on the keyboard. Then one could do:
> mfx EP 2,3,4 3.1,0,+=0.1
...solving the space issue.
Anyway, just thinking aloud...
Hope everyone is well.
Cheers,
S.M.
