I tried that; it looks even sillier. The index of directives is very short: #assert..............45 #include........................ 7 #define..............12 #include_next...................11 #elif................36 #line...........................37 #else................35 #pragma GCC dependency..........39 #endif...............33 #pragma GCC poison..............39 #error...............37 #pragma GCC system_header....12,40 #ident...............40 #sccs...........................40 #if..................33 #unassert.......................46 #ifdef...............33 #undef..........................25 #ifndef..............33 #warning........................37 #import..............46 If you split this up by initial letter ignoring the #, you get nine categories, five of which have just one entry. I think that's even more distracting than just '#' at the beginning. zw _______________________________________________ Bug-texinfo mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
