All,

Regarding I/O and literals, given that Fortran remains the language primarily devoted to numerically intense computing and clearly the language with the most elaborate and flexible I/O syntax and semantics, might it be worthwhile to consider its latest standard in addition to C and C++'s?

Cheers,

Bill



That's a good point.  However, here's a minor glitch:
"[" and "]" are already in use in the
current Fortran standard as delimiters.  In particular, the delimiters
for array constructors are listed as being either "(/" and "/)" or
"[" and "]".  This is defined intrinsically in the language.
(I can't give a quote since I am not in possession of
the current official standards document.)  How might we get
around that?

Also, I'm not sure how many current interval experts (other than me)
are using Fortran.

Best regards,

Baker
