Subject: Editorial comments resulting from latest draft edits


In the Language Ad-Hoc Feb 15th we saw some edits Calin has made. These change some occurrences of the keyword integer used in the Type column; these changes are intended to better convey the allowable range of the integer. e.g. 'non-negative integer' and positive integer'.

I have no objection to these but if they are used here the terms should be applied everywhere where integer is used in the Type column. That is, in all places where occurrences is defined and also in 4.3.6.8.1 for Timeout and 4.6.5.2 for Evaluations. The latter two would, for example, become 'positive integer'.

To be even more precise why not define special types which derive from the primitive type of integer but which have constraints to enforce 'non-negative integer' and 'positive integer'? Then use those the names of those special types in the table entries mentioned above.

Regards

Paul Jordan
