Ok. Thanks for the heads up.

Grammatically, Spad is fairly similar to Aldor, as you know. I am
actively thinking about Aldor features that I would like to integrate
with the compiler down the road. However, I am not commiting to
cloning Aldor, as I feel there are shortcomings/difficulties. The
same is true, or course, with Spad. I would be happy to dicuss some
of my plans for enriching the compiler with features familiar to
Aldor if interested.

I agree. I am not attempting a replacement. I dont care about being
able to parse the whole algebra.
I would certainly like to encourage anyone to contribute their
thoughts on what an `ideal' language should be.
