I think that '=' is a good compromise.
Doesn't really matter to me; the reason to avoid =, is because I use it in the hash keys that I send out too (well, =>). Tab is probably more useful; even better would be to make it configurable, but either way is fine. Something else that may be useful is to modify the patch even more to allow returning a table of bugs tab separated. Don Armstrong -- It was said that life was cheap in Ankh-Morpork.
