Could people vote on the following proposal for Maple 9? 10?
BACKGROUND:
^^^^^^^^^^^
You define a function:
f := (t) -> sin(t^2); # ( ) on t not needed
You differentiate it and get a result:
diff( f(t), t );
You want to use the result to define a function. You'd like to type:
fp := (t) -> %; # Method 1 Mmm ... pretty!
but you have to type:
fp := unapply(%, t); # Method 2 Mmm ... not pretty!
QUESTION:
^^^^^^^^^
Would you support the idea of Maple 9? 10? permitting "Method 1"?
NOTE: This would likely mean %, %%, ... could no longer be used in
procedures. Some like Greg Fee would say that would be a good
thing as using them tends to reduce readability!
Please vote "yes" or "no" or suggest a better scheme for avoinding unapply.
Colin
