That's why there's not_found(), but no found().
I'm bringing this request up again, in part because i'm stubborn with wishlists, and more in part because I've been making increased use of load_speculative. load_speculative essentially returns 'found' when called-- but the only way to get at that elsewhere in your code is by calling ! not_found -- which is like an evil tongue twister. I'm using my own found method in a base class to keep my sanity ( which just returns ! not_found ) , but i think 'found' really belongs in rose itself // Jonathan Vanasco | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | SyndiClick.com | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | FindMeOn.com - The cure for Multiple Web Personality Disorder | Web Identity Management and 3D Social Networking | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | RoadSound.com - Tools For Bands, Stuff For Fans | Collaborative Online Management And Syndication Tools | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
