Hi,

I'd like to propose = an improvement in method writing for c++.
What about being able to conti= nue the name of a function after the end of the parenthesis to do things li= ke:
- put(data)inVector
- print(text)inFile
- is(myClass)aGraphNod= e

Perhaps also doing things like this:
- read(myArticle)withEncod= ing(encoding)
- add(5)toVar(x)
- put(myInt)inVector(myVector)- place(myObject)atCoordinates(x,y)onlyIf(myObject->canMove()= )


The declaration would be:
- void put(int d)inVector=C2=A0 {= ... }
- void print(string t)inFile { ... }

- void read(const Art= icle& art)withEncoding(const Encoding& enc) {...}
- void place(O= bject& o)atCoordinates(int x, int y)onlyIf(boolean b) { .. }

It could be totally optional and ease the writing/reading of some=20 functions that aren't easy to write in a programming language.
This= way, reading our code could be slightly more intuitive.
We could give m= ore informations about the parameters of our methods.
I don't think it would be hard to process by a compiler, it could change= =20 the method name to "placeatCoordinateonlyIf(Object& o, int x,= int y, boolean b)"

Thanks for reading and for any remarks
