Syntax

  `name

You can use the keyword access character to access an OmniMark keyword that has been hidden by a user-defined name.

For instance, the following program (foolishly) overrides the + character to make it perform concatenation. It then uses the backquote character to access the original + operator.

  define stream infix-function
   value stream a
   +
   value stream b
   as
     return a || b

  process
     output "cat" + " mouse"
     output "d" % 2 `+ 4
