I would not mind if you implement this, it certainly has it's uses. While
you are on it, how about custom vector functions, something like:
function { <x^2, sin(z), z> }
;-)

Who knows, maybe it already exists somewhere on my and a few other harddisks.

Users! You give them one feature and they start crying for the next! ;-)
Unfortunately, vectors are more difficult to implement :-(

Question marks. That's what makes people crazy. ;-)

Don't give up. :-)

It would be really useful if you could also specify the operation which
is performed.
That is, as a sum it is something like:
result = 0;
for(n=initial_value; n<=final_value; ++n) result = result + expression(n);
This would be much more useful if it were more generic, that is:
result = 0;
for(n=initial_value; n<=final_value; ++n) result = expression(result, n);
if you understand what I mean.
You could implement a sum, a multiplication or whatever you want.

It would be nice if the parameters to a function could be vectors as well
as floats. This would be useful in some situations.

What did you expect? ;-)

There are already vector functions in form of spline functions, but i
suppose this is something different.

Btw such conclusion, have you noticed my hidden request posted somewhere about
gate between functions and polynomial solver ? I told I would try to implement
it in the future but perhaps it already exists on some of your drives... :-)

It would have to return multiple results in some cases, which is not really
possible right now...
Once there is a full programming language available in 4.0 I suppose many of
the interesting internal functions can be made available.

But knowing max order of polynomial I know max number of roots so can ask for
n-th root. Additional function could return number of roots to check if there
is any.

Why not just call out to Perl and be done. All these hacky quick developed
new languages are a real pain, when Perl already does just about everything
you can want from a proramming language. I think you guys should be spending
time on improving realism/adding features instead of a new programming
language.
