Hello,
After reading all the emails, I'm a bit confused, so I'm not planning to do
anything for several reasons: 1. I have a number of undocumented features to
document that important to work on, and for which I am having problems
finding the time. 2. What is desired in this case is not clear to me as there
seem to be several proposals and counter proposals.
Just the same, if some improvement can be made along the lines you have been
discussing, all the better, so if someone can put it all together and supply
me a patch to the development doc, and everyone agrees with it, and it looks
good to me, I'll be more than happy to apply it.
