1#2#3 is a single tuple of three elements?

[Raphael Collet]

The '#' operator is multifix: 1#2#3 is expanded to the tuple '#'(1 2 3). 
  To make it binary, you have to put parentheses...

	1#2#3 = '#'(1 2 3)
	(1#2)#3 = '#'('#'(1 2) 3)

It looks a bit weird at first, but it is very convenient!

Cheers,
