Hi,

what does Verbatim[] ?? when you  do that:
Comm[Verbatim[Piecewise][A : {{_, _} ..}],
Verbatim[Piecewise][B : {{_, _} ..}]] :=
Comm[Testy[A], Testy2[B]]



Regards
  Jens

| Hi,
|
| When I try to set a delayed expression like 
this:
|
| Comm[Piecewise[A:{{_, _}..}], Piecewise[B:{{_, 
_}..}]] :=
|   Comm[Testy[A], Testy2[B]]
|
| I get a warning from Piecewise that says:
|
| Piecewise::pairs: The first argument A : {{_, _} 
..} of Piecewise is not
| a list of pairs.
|
| I thought that the HoldAll attribute on 
SetDelayed should prevent
| evaluation of the LHS argument, so where is this 
warning coming from?
|
| Can I ignore a warning like this, or should I 
instead use a different
| sort of pattern?
|
| Many thanks,
|
| Chris Rodgers.
