Let me state the matter seriously. Anyone who thinks that more
control characters should be inserted into a regex stream, that has no
wide based standard for why the control character is being so
inserted, is making a very poor design decision. It is very difficult
to keep the standard control characters straight as is, not to mention
the CMake quirk of double \\ escapes due to argument processing.
Please no more regex pain than everyone already has. I can just see
the collective scream from all the regex gurus moving to CMake, when
things that parsed fine in their old ways of doing things explode
because now they have to deal with ~ as a special case.
Sure, it is a bad idea, and technically I agree with you. I would much
rather have seen
the above paragraph without the, sick, depraved, and shooting part.
Lets try and keep
the discussion on the list technical in nature and avoid name calling.
Thanks.
