On an extreme, ASN.1 has an explicit mark for the point where to add stuff (an a metric ton of rules on how to handle it *still* keeping robustness). Postscript and PDF just use the 'dictionary' trick to handle unknown data (if I don't ask for it, I don't see it). Also the whole LUA language works with that. Replace 'dictionary' with 'list' and you have the usual sexp way of doing things (i.e. first parse the whole sexp and then look in it for interesting stuff). -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
