If you're willing to spend the effort, I won't stop you :-) but I think the pain of parsing a string once (during negotiation) is not that bad, and I'm not too bothered about it. Put otherwise, I'm not convinced that the downside (which I agree exists) outweighs the downside of having to introduce yet another command, or add some ugliness for backwards compat reasons. But hey, go ahead, prove me wrong ;-) -- Could you people please use IRC like normal people?!? -- Amaya Rodrigo Sastre, trying to quiet down the buzz in the DebConf 2008 Hacklab
