What were you meaning by removing the deprecation?
Deprecation means that we may remove the behavior in favor of a preferred alternative. That's very different from making the behavior switchable. Right now, we don't have a preferred alternative, so it was wrong to ever refer to the behavior as "deprecated" in the first place. The original notion was that wildcards could be a dropin replacement for hardwiring the "!" syntax, and in my experience, we are already 98% there, but it's hard to test wilcard replacements with the hardwired code switched on, since the special-casde code hijacks the processing of any action name with an embedded "!". The builtin, hardwired, non-configurable behavior It is also arguably a security flaw, and since we already have code that can switch it off, there is no reason not to provide the switch, even if the default is to enable the behavior. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
