Suggestion for minor change of the concrete syntax
Dear CoFI Friends,
Sorry to suggest this officially so late, but since we are still
considering fixing minor details of CASL, I hope the following very minor
suggestion can still be taken into account.
Suggestion for change of the concrete syntax for local variable
declarations (LOCAL-VAR-AXIOMS, see 2.2.2):
Replace "var/vars" by "forall" (displayed \textbf{forall}).
Note: This change is only at the level of the concrete syntax. No change at
all of the abstract syntax is needed. Moreover, it has already been checked
that from a tool point of view, the suggested change is harmless.
Rationale: It seems that having the same keyword for global variable
declarations and for local ones is a source of confusion, especially in the
case of a global variable declaration followed by some axioms.
Best regards,
Michel
[BKB: I support this, if it is still possible]
