Hello.
The state machine of v14.10 will be (still hacky but) good enough
to drive *on-compose-embed* via a normal macro that runs _in the
current process_, instead of in a forked subprocess that needs to
be driven very complicatedly.
So, in v14.10 a signature can be done just like
set on-compose-embed=mysig
define mysig {
~< ~/.mysig
}
I think that is simple enough: *signature* remains obsoleted.
But i will obsolete *on-compose-splice* and
*on-compose-splice-shell* in v14.10.
May thou speak up now on complains, please.
Already Ciao!
and greetings!

We also support "match groups" for regular expressions and such,
and for "in-memory" results for `~^^' (new, for that purpose) or
`digmsg', which is pretty cool (as the I/O protocol used by the
splice hooks is no longer necessary at all).
For a simple example, here is my personal
define on-compose-leave {
\call age
^"can"
\if -N smime-sign && -N _smime-sign-cert
\local vput fop _smime-sign-cert expand "$_smime-sign-cert"
\if -r "$_smime-sign-cert"
^file exists?
\dig - atta ins "$_smime-sign-cert"
^insert as attachment
\if $^0 -eq 210
^"Match group" used to represent result status in-memory.
\dig - atta attribute-set-at $^1 \
^"Match group" still alive and well (^1 == index of attachment)

\local vput vexpr sec seconds
\if $? -ne 0; \return; \en
\local pp : $((e = sec / 60 % 60))
\if $e -eq 42
: $((e = -((sec % 60) - 60)))
\ec 'Minute 42, sleeping '$e' seconds'
\sleep $e
\el
: $((e = sec % 42))
\if $e -eq 42
\ec 'Second 42, sleeping a second'
\sleep 1
\en
\en
}
We gain more scope control, too. The very grazy hypothetic
define hi {
local pp local vput global vpospar i$((i = 1 + 1)) quote
xcall t "$@"
}
keeps the modifications of the $(()) construct "local pp"
(positional parameters), keeps the assignment to the resulting
iNUMBER variable "local vput", but modifies the "global"
positional parameter stack.
