  13. The votes so far indicate that there is a strong preference for the
  14. "embedded" approach to mathematical functions ("expr 2*cos($x)") over
  15. the "separate commands" approach ("expr 2*[cos $x]").  Given the
  16. lopsidedness of the voting (37 to 8 in favor of embedded) I hereby
  17. declare the balloting over.  I'll implement the embedded approach in
  18. 7.0.  Just so you can see that I didn't fudge the votes, I'll include
  19. below the list of people who voted for each approach.
