Elimination of Extended ASCII & new lexical traps
Adam Grabowski eventually decided to remove from MML all extended ASCII
characters (with codes >= 255).
They are replaced by new symbols, that may cause some troubles.
When updating an old article (not yet submitted) I got the error #103
(unknown funtor) in an iterative equality:
.= 1*p by REAL_2:12
::> *103
Rather confusing (it is just real mutliplication, but ASCII #249 is
substitued now by '*'). The problem is that I have in the lexical
environment the vocabulary JORDAN2C on which '1*' is introduced as a
symbol - it is used in the definition JORDAN2C: def 7, 1* n is finite
sequence of reals consisting of n elements equal to 1.
To correct it I should put a space between '1' and '*', but
.= 1 *p by REAL_2:12
does not look nice, even if it is correct.
I believe every Mizar user felt down in most famous lexical trap. If you
write
a+c=b+d
it is construed as
a + c= b + d
because 'c=' is the symbol for the inclusion (it is ever in the
environment , HIDDEN.VOC)
A bit more original:
I had in a scheme formula
P[x] & P[y] implies ...
and I needed the CAT4 vocabulary. But then I got an error at 'P[x]'. The
reason: Czeslaw Bylinski introduced
'[x]' as the symbol for the product in a category (CAT_4:def 5)
