`s` is already in use in the wider regex world, of course. The perl precedent seems to be to use `d` for this -- it originally meant "Default" as in, "default semantics pre-perl 5.14", but was soon nicknamed "dodgy" or "d@!#". Seems like a good model to follow. Not sure we can get away with making this opt-in, though. It would be nice if we could. --scott _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
