Hi,
this is some feature request which might be interessting (assuming
this wasnt mentioned before)
We were wondering if we can use the phrase 'but' in addition to 'and'
like
given "I have two sons"
then "they are both boys"
but "they have different ages"
of course this could also be expressed with 'and' - but reading it
makes it more expressive and understanding that this condition
expresses a negation.
comments ?
Cheers

would the semantics change, in your opinion? That is, does putting a
"but" change how easyb would process a story or anything like that?
Sounds like it's just a change in wording, right? That is easy
enough.

This feature is now available in the tip of SVN -- you can use 'but'
and it'll act just like 'and'; that is, it'll inherit the valid
keyword before it (then/when/given).
