- MATCHES is now the thing that takes a java regex. What does 'like' do? right now it is the SQL LIKE that supports
wildcards % and _. It has a poor implementation but I need to know whether to keep it in the language before
fixing that.
- Need to agree on a standard date format for 'default' processing of dates. Currently it is:
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z", Locale.UK);
// this is something of this format: "Wed, 4 Jul 2001 12:08:56 GMT"
// http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
- See LiteralTests for Date (4,5,6) - should date take an expression rather than be hardcoded in the grammar
to take 2 strings only?
- when doing arithmetic, eg. 8.4 / 4 and the user asks for an Integer return type - do we silently coerce or
say we cannot as it won't fit into an int? (see EvaluationTests.testMathOperatorDivide04)
- Is $index within projection/selection useful or just cute?
