hello everyone, Thanks for the quick progress here, and the kind words. A few notes:
- I used the word "pure" in the sense of a pure function, without side effects. I had started with a very long flag name but when you have a few different flags in your AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro this quickly gets out of hand. I thought fairly hard about the best possibility for a short name which is still somewhat descriptive. Perhaps the docs could be tweaked a bit to make the link more clear. For what it's worth, the other option I considered was static-dist. Maybe this would be better? - My actual preference would be to have this be the default option. Might we have a path some day to a place where this is true, possibly after a transition period? - I made a mistake: I added the tests, but I forgot to add them to the list of tests. Can someone make sure that gets fixed on merging, or should I email an updated patch?
