I don't think that will work in general. Consider this: a <- x / b x <- y !z b <- y !c If you change x as you propose, you might mark something which is not an error as an error. You will read something as an erroneous x instead of as a correct b. mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
