Just out of curiosity: would it be difficult to support trigraphs in VAX? For some older code, or code for unusual platforms, this is actually useful. (Search and replace does the trick too, but ...)

Ouch.
There is a request we have never received. We will consider it, albeit lightly. |

| Yes, the parser needs to understand the trigraphs. Other features need tweaking also, eg highlighting of matching braces needs to see ??< and ??> |

Any news on this one? Just tried it and it seems not to be working yet, so I suppose there where more requests for pink keywords on black background (Hi Larry) than trigraph support  . |

Trigraph support?? Next you'll be overloading the comma operator...

| Wow! What an interesting idea. Overloading the comma operator... What a way to mess up someone's day! |

Actually I was thinking of the space operator, but the comma should do  |

| But, there actually is a comma operator. |

See 'More Effective C++', Scott Meyers, Item 7: 'Never Overload &&, ||, or ,' for a complete discussion on why it's a really bad idea..
