To be honest, I probably prefer the 'many functions' approach. I was just thinking in terms of not cluttering the Vim function namespace with functions for a feature that isn't really core to a text editor. Though for the rounding, there are so many different types and different names for the different types, that I thought a single function to group them together made sense. Still, the chances of an actual name clash are small--if we called a function by one of those names with a different purpose, it would cause plenty of confusion, and I guess just another section of :help function-list is needed. > abs(argument) That's a good thought. Vim should have that one, for ints and floats. sgn() wouldn't go astray either. Another that could conceivably be useful would be a random number function. A low quality PRNG would do just fine. This could be used in Vim for editing data files for testing purposes, etc. Ben. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
