Re: Hyphenated OpCode Names

If EVALCORR bothers you, then use EvalCorr.

Do we have ReadE or is it Read-E?  Do you think Read-E is that much more 
readable than ReadE?

I think that Bob's concern is that our eyes are trained that a hyphen in 
RPG indicates an action - subtraction.  Granted, a bulk of the time it 
will be:
x = z-y
or
x-=1
or
x=-1
Remembering that many people don't bother with the optional Eval op code.

Which brings up a flash of lightning.  Why not just say

correspond ThisDS ThatDS

And just trash the eval altogether?
