How to call a function with the result of calling equals?

[haydenflinner]

This may not be special to equals, but maybe it is because equals is both binding and comparison?

# only affects user-named functions? UserFunc is just identity here for sake of example.
UserFunc ← ∘
# I can call identity itself just fine:
∘ =@x "xxx"
# But this formats into binding UserFunc again. Try Cmd+Enter.
UserFunc =@x "xxx"
# i.e.
UserFunc ← @x "xxx"

If it helps, I found this workaround. Perhaps the parser could recognize when the name is already bound that we didn't mean binding?

=@x "xxx"
UserFunc

Or, actually I guess more in the APL style, ident strikes again 😄

UserFunc∘ =@x "xxx"

You can do any of:

∘UserFunc =@x "xxx"
UserFunc∘=@x "xxx"
(UserFunc =@x "xxx")
UserFunc (=@x "xxx")
