But what is the objection?

I would understand an objection if there were at least one valid
alternative way to interpret the notation. Just give me an ambiguity,
and I'll ditch the notation:)

To answer that, do you agree that there is a standard definition of
"c is a limit of a function at p" which works for all topological
