I can see this point fairly clearly, but I also would also be curious to see if openNLP or lucene/solr has such a function. It wouldn't surprise me. That being said, we should indeed be careful about creating code with no obvious use case. So until we can unearth folks doing palindromic operations let's hold off. I do recall Bruno saying he might have some use cases though. -Rob > > +1. > > Gary > > > Emmanuel Bourg > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
