I suspect there are only a handful of cases where I'd like to do this. Frankly I can even do it outside the source base proper, I suppose, but I figured I'd throw the question out here since maybe this is something we care about longer term. I'm not really interested in hitting the app at multiple layers for everything --- the existing python framework is great for most things. It's just for some niggly details on lower level pieces of code that I care about it.
I may fiddle with it a bit. If it looks gnarly in the end, I won't push it further. If it looks reasonable, I may throw up a patch to look at. -Todd On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 2:25 PM, <jing...@apple.com> wrote: > I'm a little leery about this.
