The warning is important -- when it's important. In my case, it was important to avoid cluttering the exception log with spurious complaints about the results of a process outside anyone's control. In any case, that has zero to do with whether it makes sense to package this behavior as a procedural abstraction. Please note that I am *not* arguing that Chicken's substring should behave this way, just that a convenient implementation of the loose behavior does have use cases. -- The Imperials are decadent, 300 pound John Cowan <[email protected]> free-range chickens (except they have http://www.ccil.org/~cowan teeth, arms instead of wings, and dinosaurlike tails). --Elyse Grasso _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
