== keyword ''is'' & ECMA 367 ==
 
Thanks for adding these. Oddly, all the code samples with the missing "is" seem to have been written by Bertand Meyer. What's up with that? Does Eiffel allow some syntax variant, or something?

:As I've found out now, leaving out ''is'' seems to be a quite new standard [http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-367.htm]; the current version 5.6 of the EiffelStudio IDE does not support it, but obviously, 5.7 will. Same thing goes for the Tuple, as it is described in the article, it won't work in 5.6. Somebody decide about having it there or not (or maybe mentioning it explicitly), but make sure to keep it consistent.... [[User:MoA)gnome|MoA)gnome]] 17:14, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 
I've just removed one of these again, so I thought I would mention it here again: the keyword ''is'' in the feature declaration is, according to the ECMA-367 standard mentioned in the text and listed on the links, not part of the Eiffel syntax any more.
