keywords, key phrases, contexts
Hello guys,
Does the meaning of keyword mean context sensitivity?
To quote from the manual (section 2.1.5.2 "e Keywords"):
"The keywords listed below are the components of the e language. Some of the
terms are keywords only when used together with other terms, such as key
in list(key:key) , before in keep gen x before y , or computed in
define def as computed ."
Does this mean "a" is a keyword only in a "is a" or "is not a" context
("keyphrases")?
If yes, than for consistency, I would say "if" is a keyword if it appears in a
conditional action context..
But, it seems there are no keywords any more, except maybe TRUE, FALSE, NULL,
UNDEF, MAX_INT, MIN_INT, MAX_UINT...
Although type t : [TRUE] is legal...
Am I missing something here?
Thank you,
Cristian
