I should have responded, having spent quite some time yesterday browsing the patch set. I tried to understand how it worked, but having little familiarity with C++, or even C for that matter, I decided the technique was too esoteric for me to understand, at least without a lot of background reading first. Apart from commenting about my ignorance there seemed little to say at the time. But of course the result is very welcome, removing a requirement which is irritating and mysterious when first encountered, and a nuisance ever after. > I still think it may have the potential of issue 2883 where its general > availability lagged behind people becoming used to it. Not really. No one will miss the need to add parser location. The change just normalises the syntax to what one would expect anyway. It will be appreciated in the same way that good health is appreciated after recovering from an illness. Thanks for doing this, David.
