PPL: element-wise operations on Vector

[Martin Hepperle]

In the previous firmware I was able to write

Code:


x := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
y := x.^2 * 9.8765;

which set y to a Vector with the square of each individual element in x.
This "dot-operator" Syntax was identical what I use in Matlab or Octave - very compact and convenient.

In the April 2016 release this is now flagged as a syntax error and I have to resort to a loop or other relatively ugly means to perform the same type of calculations (e.g. using the Matrix initialization function).

Is it correct that this feature was removed? Probably not to recover 8MB of RAM ;-)
