Huh. I always assumed it was in C. Shows what I know… :p

To nitpick, -14 isn't a literal in all languages. :)

(In Haskell, it's just sugar for negate 14, while in Standard ML it's spelt ~14. And I assume there are other exceptions too.)

I'm not saryant, but the school of CS at St Andrews (UK) briefly teaches us LaTeX in second(?) year, and encourages us to use it to write all our reports, essays, etc.

(OT: I also got complimented in high school for my physics coursework being typeset nicely. :D None of the other teachers seemed to really notice, though.)

Well, it's both.

But couldn't the language's runtime (or the GC library, or whatever) register for these notifications?

"non-(banana republic)", not "(non-banana) republic".

It doesn’t if I use a tap-click on my trackpad either; it only seems to if you hold it down.

Do these actions (tap-click, screen touch) not send separate mouse{down,up} events? Because that might be related.

No love for `ZZ` here? :( (And its friend `ZQ`, which is the same as `:q!`.)

Apart from `-p` and `--name-status`, there’s also `--stat` for the `++++++++----` things for each file.

Well the revised syntax (http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-camlp4/manual007.html) is completely implemented as a camlp4 (p5?) extension, so if you have enough patience you can write another extension to replace the syntax with whatever you want, I suppose.
