Albeit long, it was quite important to understand all of the discussions and decisions so far. I tried keeping track of every thing on this long, long thread, but couldn't follow up with everything, so it was incredibly helpful of you to give such a complete summary. > So, my code is hosted at =https://gitlab.com/mtekman/org-mode= and with > the exception of the =header-reform= branch, is about 1 year behind > upstream. So, if I understand correctly, =header-reform= is where we're at right now and after we're done with this overhauling of the parsing of (mutually exclusive) header params, we'll get back to the actual syncing logic, which should be mostly done. > * Where we are now > > The branch I have most recently worked on (I rebased it earlier this > week) is called =header-reform=.

Ok I'll start here as I think writing tests could give me some more insights on the core problems that still need solution. > 2. Unified merge function I do have a couple of questions regarding this: > Something that handles tangle-params and result-params, 1. So the idea is to continue parsing multi-option header arguments into their separate components, but have a common place to, after parsing it into their components, handle them all in a single place? I mean, what does "handle" mean in this context? > as well > something that can handle mutually exclusive groups such as tangle > and results, especially when the :any keyword is involved. 2. Isn't that the same as the previous point? If we can handle any *-params doesn't that solve the problem of handling mutually exclusive groups? We can just define a pattern of parsing them into individual *-params and handling that in a unified manner. > I've attached the two working patches from the =header-reform= branch to > this mail, and one floating WIP inline patch which should get things > started.

As I said in the beginning, I'm actually quite grateful for the summarizing! Best regards, -- João Pedro de A. Paula IT bachelors at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)
