== Extraneous Requirements ==
 
It seems to me that the requirement that one "shows the changes in the stack as each individual token is processed as a table" is entirely extraneous to the core task of parsing and calculating RPN expressions. I think the inclusion of this kind of extraneous printing requirement goes against the principle mission of Rosetta code. For reasons outlined in [[Village_PumpRosetta Code:Village Pump/Extraneous_Printing_Requirements_in_TasksExtraneous Printing Requirements in Tasks]], I think we should make this requirement optional. If no one objects after several days, I will make this minor change. --[[User:Abathologist|Abathologist]] ([[User talk:Abathologist|talk]]) 04:09, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 
: Could you elaborate on your thinking? (Note also that you linked to a page which does not exist. Does this mean that you are just making this up?) --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 04:28, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 
:: Thanks for pointing out my linking error. I have corrected it. (Funny that you'd think I was making it up rather than messing up the link!) I elaborate my reasoning pretty extensively on the linked page, and I'd be happy to add further details or clarifications here! Please ask if you have any questions! Either way, I look forward to your feedback. --[[User:Abathologist|Abathologist]] ([[User talk:Abathologist|talk]]) 09:59, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
