***************************** Team Allaire *****************************
Jeff, you know I love you big-time, sailor-boy, but in this case I have to
disagree. I think it was Mr. QvT who pointed out that you wouldn't want to
have the square brackets around the formulation, as the information being
conveyed is that ONE of these MUST be being passed in. Given that, this
formulation...
--> Portfolio | Cluster | Market | Region: an INTEGER
....indicates that one of them must be passed in.
The problem with the way you have it laid out is that it doesn't convey the
same information. It indicates that any or all of them MAY be passed in.
However, I am the one at fault for not having foreseen this need in the
Fusedoc spec and once more, in the same week, I must cry Mea Culpa, Mea
Culpa, Mea maxima Culpa (usually trans: my fault; my own fault; my own most
grievous fault). So, I'd put that in the hopper for version 2.0; in the
meantime, Harness rocks the rockin' horse's rockin' house.
Repenting in dust and ashes,
Hal

Oh, please don't say that, Hal. That goes against the Fusedoc definition
that
allows tools like Harness to exist. After all, the variable called
"Portfolio | Cluster | Market | Region" can't exist, even though the
notation
makes sense to us humans. I'd definitely recommend
--> [Portfolio]: an INTEGER
--> [Cluster]: an INTEGER
--> [Market]: an INTEGER
--> [Region]: an INTEGER
Harness understands this notation perfectly, without need for additional
costly
parsing.
