I'm currently evaluating how I might implement a feature which disables pathname expansion on the first word of all commands. It seems like an obvious feature to enable by default because it would improve the safety of all scripts with breakage being extremely unlikely. Plus there's a theoretical performance benefit.
Also you'll be able to call methods on arrays of objects without needing to quote it because of the subscript syntax. Example: typeset -T MyType_t=(...) MyType_t -a obj=((x=1 y=2) (x=3 y=4)) obj[1].func arg1 # Normally needs quoting because of pointless globbing. -- Dan Douglas _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list ast-users@lists.research.att.com http://lists.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
