But what you can do now -- and indeed for some time past -- is not
far away:
foreach element of loc mylist {
tokenize `element'
args numeral letter roman
...
}
If there was a lot in the loop this would make code clearer.
Ah yes, very nice. It had never occurred to me to use -args- in this
way (i.e., after a manual call to -tokenize- as opposed to the
automatic tokenization of command line arguments). I retract my
earlier suggestion, and thank you for the tip.
