Re: AngleBracket[] -- serious bug?!



A note about the AngleBracket[] question.

AngleBracket does not have its own heading in appendix A.10 or the
on-line master index.  It is mentioned in the description of
\[LeftAngle Bracket] and \[RightAngleBracket].

I tried various combinations and it apparently does not like any
non-numeric or non-symbolic arguments.  It doesn't even like spaces.  I
even wrote a little function:

anglebracket[x___]:=\[LeftAngleBracket]x\[RightAngleBracket]

anglebracket[] returned the same gpf error, but anglebracket[x] returned
<x>.

The lesson appears to be that AngleBracket requires an argument and that
the error trapping is poor in this instance.
