Most of your comments don't make sense if you are commenting on the actual proposal. However, it seems that you immediately ignored the core part of the proposal, and then commented on stupidity of some distorted, imagined, half-ass proposal you imagined that lacks the core part. So, please, keep your comments on topic. If you don't like the proposal (I didn't expect it to be otherwise), try at least to stay objective. Because, really, complaining that proposal doesn't have '~' operator means that you either didn't care to try to understand it, or that you immediately discarded what you didn't like and complained on the result you created yourself. I expected more of you. -- Best regards, Michał Górny <http://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/>
