Well, in the long list of features that could be added, I don't think this would be near the top. Although it sounds nice, the practical usage is rather limited. In most cases using string() on whatever you want to use as a key will do the same thing, thus there doesn't seem to be much reason to support this internally. -- A radioactive cat has eighteen half-lives. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// \\\ \\\ sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
