Stumbled on this usage regarding [[wikipedia:ALGOL 58|ALGOL 58]] by [[Alan Perlis]]: [https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/800025.1198354], bottom of page 143 and top of 144. So it's at least as old as 1978: much earlier than I expected! | Stumbled on this usage regarding [[wikipedia:ALGOL 58|ALGOL 58]] by [[Alan Perlis]]: [https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/800025.1198354], bottom of page 143 and top of 144.

::In my opinion, the usage of the term "schizophrenia" to refer to function-operator overloading adds nothing to the concept, or it's understanding and could be considered distasteful to some. I encourage removing it, despite it's common usage and historical precedence. [[User:Faun Locke]] ([[User talk:Faun Locke|talk]]) 02:23, 26 10 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::If a modern reader of old papers stumbles upon the term, they might well seek an explanation in APL Wiki. We could possibly discourage the use as politically incorrect in today's age, e.g. by changing "sometimes" to "archaic epithet:" or similar. [[Adám Brudzewsky]] 18:43, 26 October 2022 (UTC) | |||
