The purpose of MEX was to be able to read off *any* mathematical or 
programming or other text/series of symbols, and insofar as possible to 
have it reflect whatever meaning/structure is intended to be embedded in 
that text (respecting any conventions that may be invoked.  If a string 
of numbers and lerfu can be strung together on a page/screen, then there 
needs to be a way to read it out.  And there are strings of mixed 
numbers and lerfu found all over the place: 5*10E6 being a simple 
example, which might have to be read off as a string, or might have to 
be read off as a mathematical expression (which is the interpretation of 
that string).

I haven't been following this discussion, but I hope that whoever is 
making proposals can deal with translating "Which date convention should 
I be using to interpret '6/2/2015', 'D/M/YYYY' or 'M/D/YYYY'"?
