But you can also look at it as a simplification, in that it removes a number of tricky questions in an elegant, easy to understand way. We can't, in the general case, tell if two regular expressions overlap. So if we discover at run time that a node matches two regular expressions, which one applies? Saying "both" cuts the knot in a way that's easy to understand and could even be useful. -- Markus --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
