-1, emphatically. I want to avoid "preprocessing" the file in this way, because then we'd end up with yet another nonstandard extended regex dialect. Adopting PCRE would be a much better way to get (?i) IMO. > Alternatively, it's something that our hypothetical regex optimizer could > detect and handle in whatever way is considered efficient by it. Likewise, now I'm thinking this way: we're making a VCS, not a regexp optimization library. Since the PCRE guys *just* make a regex library, I hope they'll have a faster, more robust optimizer than we could put together. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
