For @clean nodes at.writeAllHelper calls::
at.write(p,kind='@clean',nosentinels=True,toString=toString)
at.write calls at.writeOpenFile which calls at.putBody. The changes would
have to be in::
<< handle line at s[i] >> (putBody)
This would not be easy for user code to mess with, so I'm wondering if
there is an easier, more general way. Several possibilities come to mind:
1. @clean-asis. The write code be similar to the @asis write code (which
is simple), except that trailing newlines would be guaranteed for all
nodes. The read code might be identical to @clean code.
2. @user-file. The read/write code would be specified by the user somehow,
probably by a plugin along the lines of the importer/writer plugins.
3. Change @asis so it works like @clean-asis just described.
4. Use scripts, somehow, to read/write a tree.
#2 is asking for trouble. Read/code is too complicated to trust to users.
#3 is also asking for trouble: it's never a good idea to change what
@<file> directives do.
#4 is always possible, but hard.
So that leaves #1.
Or maybe settings could modify the workings of @clean. But that's also
asking for trouble, even assuming per-commander settings are available when
reading @clean nodes.
So again, only #1 looks feasible.
New directives that would modify the workings of @clean (or other @<file>
nodes) also look like asking for trouble.
*Summary*
An @clean-like version of @asis would be good. Unless I am mistaken,
@clean-asis is needed (alternatives are too difficult to trust to users)
and fairly straightforward to add to Leo.
Otoh, I am never real happy to add another type of @<file> node.
Your comments, please, Terry.
