This page describes the changes which are planned for the pan language. These changes will be incorporated after the first production release of the java-based implementation of the pan compiler. The overall goal of these changes are either to simplify the language from the user's point-of-view or to speed (and simplify) the pan parser.
Allow only a DML block to use used with include statements. This will simplify the lexer by reducing the number of times it must enter a special lexical state (or namespaced identifiers). It also simplifies the grammar by removing a branch. It is not backwards compatible because all name will at a minimum need to be enclosed in quotes.
