Concerning icon language constructs, I was wondering if there is any call
for an 'otherwise' construct. This would be used in a conditional. This idea
is based in part on tri-state logic that is popular in AI products.
if (num/div) > lim
then write("Is true.")
else write("Is false.")
otherwise write("Is unknown or &null or div by 0")
This might be a cleaner way of handling things than messing with the error
count, and could be very handy for development and debugging. Or maybe there's
a more Iconish way of handling it. Any ideas?
