And what is true is that if we ever decided to rename a switch, we would have to do a global search and replace _anyway_ to update the documentation. So I guess now I disagree with myself too, because I also want to keep the code simple and readable. Anybody want to disagree with me disagreeing with myself, and watch me flip-flop? I once tried to clean up the way we represent darcs paths, having a _darcs variable instead of "_darcs", but it ended up making the code more messy that it was worth. Maybe it's the same story here. -- Eric Kow http://www.loria.fr/~kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 Merci de corriger mon français.
