I'll go more far :-) Options of type string with predefined
acceptable values (enums like "string-option" above!) can be treated
as real enums in most cases. I think it's not likely that someone
really wants to know what the user typed in just to know what logical
value (enum) (s)he choosed. So it may be unneccessary to store or
hold the real string arguments in this case just to store the mapped
enum values. What do you think?
mhhh... I really fear that as soon as I remove the string
representations of enums some one will want it ;-)
thus I would keep both (for instance if you wanted to also print the
string representations inserted by the user)
" I'll work on this!
You always work on what we say - it' quite impressive ;-)
that's part of the game :-D
cheers
Lorenzo
