Hello, yeah, another endless mail shout at, well, listen first :)
As you all know, a lot of ppl think that Backward Compability is The Most Presious Thing. Other ppl think that more and better functions are more important. This sometimes requires _breaking_ backward compability (uh oh, i mentioned it), as was cheerfull mentioned by Mr Lemos. Although he has a good point, we still decided (one year ago) that the dirname was broken. <soft voice>The same is true for exit().</soft voice><loud voice>It's simply broken</loud voice> from a programmers perspective. Look at C/Pascal/shells/Java and every other programming language available on Earth, but no, because some programmer that wrote the language semantics, thought, hey, let's exit() print out the status too, cause it looks nice. BAD. Ok, that was the problem, now the solution: 1. We fix exit 2. We add an extra argument to exit, which silences the output 3. We make exit understand @, like @exit(); 4. We add a new function Before hell breaks loose again, I don't want to hear comments on this, only reply's with those numbers in the subject.
