Thank you for some wise comments, Mark.
I shall not commence or continue any argument, with anybody, in any
context, and I feel that I owe an apology to many individuals, if it
has begun to look like that, there is a fencing fight in the Shen
group. That is not in the spirit of science.
But my statement about the complex library with absvectors, or with
pairs, is a scientific statement, it is not an attempt to argue with
anyone in any manner.
I mean, the type system is an important part of the Shen system; I
have previously written that the Shen types are an excellent help for
the programmer who is attempting to make something truly complex.
I even have been planning to write a very positive article about Shen
in the ICT press. The Shen system deserves such treatment.
The absvectors are not a part of the Shen system. But it is easy to
create a type secure complex package with pairs. That is all I want
to say, this has not been written to argue with anybody. It is a
purely scientific statement.
yours, A. J. Y.
