Is this a discussion about the "X-" thing, or something else entirely? If we have a version number and a list of reserved words, we can append to the list of reserved words at a version bump. As far as conflicts during upgrading: I'm in the "deal with it" camp. But what's wrong with throwing them the !~ m/^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$/ bone and keeping the future reserved words within that constraint? Everything else is "something else". (And, didn't I say that already? tap, tap... is this thing on?) --Eric -- Moving pianos is dangerous. Moving pianos are dangerous.
