Incompatible changes .. was Re: Program stack overflow defining infix operator

I think that an open source sourceforge project should rely on building 
a consensus before making incompatible changes.

In this instance, I vote no.  I do not know how others feel, but perhaps 
one can find out more systematically.

see surveymonkey.com

for example.

Note that I am not against "boolean simplification",  just against 
altering the semantics of the programming language to do it.
