Then I have one more objection. My point of view is the readability of the source code. What would the name of the option identifier be but nearly the same as the string representation of the option? Anything else would be confusing. So this "automatically right thing" would from my point of view do the wrong thing, by not updating the name of the option in the source code (instead hiding it under a level of abstraction for no good). -- Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
