[fpc-pascal] Feature announcement: Dynamic array extensions

[Roger Rivero Jr. (SAMPA WebMaster)]

Dear Sir:

I don´t like your way of answering. Period.

Mathematical operators on matrices (+, -, *, ~, etc.) have being defined 
centuries ago, and all the scientific community uses the same 
conventions on them. It´s not proper that somebody now would like to 
redefine the conventions on his own will, regarless of the user´s 
community opinions.

If you like an operator for concatenation, which is A WHOLE NEW FEATURE, 
please use a different or invented operator. You can use concatenator 
operarators borrowed from PHP ("."), Excel - VB ("&"), or invent your 
own one ( +.   +~   +*   etc)

I firmly oppose to any of your intentions (define the + operator for 
concatenation and allow user defined operators to take precedence). It 
doesn´t make sense. It´s not logical.

Thank you for hearing at me, and my apologies for my rough language.

Best regards,

Roger Rivero
