I didn't mean you should do it, just that you seemed to want to interpret
"aaa bbb ccc" as "aaa and bbb and ccc". Certainly, if you want some other
behavior then you need to write a parser to exhibit that behavior. The
basic point is that the Intermedia engine comes with a statement parser; you
just want it to act differently. That is fine, but then you are going to
have to program it to translate your behavior into what it is expecting.
