Let me restate what i meant: if you enter 5--4 in squeak for example, the parser asks you whether you meant 5 - -4 or 5 -- 4.

Oh, ok. And what happens if you are not in an interactive mode (like when you are filing-in code) ?

I believe that x - - y would give you an error.

4 - - 5 in parsing is a different beast, because you consider - 5 as a
single token.
