a lone ? can mean anything, you can already tell that . is for fetching a subtable.

This is something I don't see a lot of people do. I've tended to do for long,list,of,variables,here in ageneratorhere(bigparameterhere) do end and local x do -- everything after is…

No, not basically, it simply doesn't have them, Ternary means three as in it operates on 3 operands, and/or operates on 2 operands. They are also not equivalent. x = a ? b : c # x …

A key feature of github is you could bug report on many projects without registering an account for each one, this is not true of fossil. if fossil is to be taken seriously, then i…
