Program to convert (i) to [i] ? [message #73560]

Some time ago, in a posting before the release of IDL 8, I remember
people discussing the forced use of square brackets [] for array
indices. While I have been thoroughly converted to square bracket
arrays since the early 2000s, I still rely on thousands of lines of
older code that has a lot of parentheses ().

Someone mentioned a program that could intelligently convert code en
masse, but I cannot now find that reference. Can anyone point me in
the correct direction, or share their experience with using it? How
does it know which of your labels are your own .pro functions and
which are variable names when there is an ambiguity?

Is there a COMPILE_OPT setting to allow the use of older () array
indices? I'm running IDL 8.0.1 now.

Thanks,
M.
