The fact that aliases are that hard to portably use in scripts is indeed an argument in favor of leaving aliases as an implementation extension, but I'm not sure if we have time to do that for Issue 8 (not least of which we need proposed wording changes) Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2023-01-20 21:39 mirabilos New Issue 2023-01-20 21:39 mirabilos Name => mirabilos 2023-01-20 21:39 mirabilos Organization => mksh 2023-01-20 21:39 mirabilos URL => https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1050 2023-01-20 21:39 mirabilos Section => 3.10 2023-01-20 22:30 kre Note Added: 0006122 2023-01-20 22:36 kre Note Added: 0006123 2023-01-20 22:38 kre Note Edited: 0006123 2023-02-09 17:08 nick Relationship added related to 0001050 2023-02-09 17:09 geoffclare Project Online Pubs => 1003.1(2016/18)/Issue7+TC2 2023-02-13 17:19 geoffclare Note Added: 0006149 2023-02-18 20:33 mirabilos Note Added: 0006156 2023-02-24 10:03 geoffclare Note Added: 0006171 2023-02-24 12:24 hvd Note Added: 0006172 2023-02-24 12:25 hvd Note Edited: 0006172 2023-02-24 13:45 geoffclare Note Added: 0006173 2023-02-24 14:05 ormaaj Note Added: 0006174 2023-02-24 14:08 ormaaj Note Edited: 0006174 2023-02-24 14:09 ormaaj Note Edited: 0006174 2023-02-24 14:14 ormaaj Note Edited: 0006174 2023-02-24 14:17 ormaaj Note Edited: 0006174 2023-02-24 14:30 stephane Note Added: 0006175 2023-02-24 14:44 hvd Note Added: 0006176 2023-02-24 14:52 ormaaj Note Added: 0006177 2023-02-24 15:10 ormaaj Note Edited: 0006177 2023-02-24 15:11 ormaaj Note Edited: 0006177 2023-02-24 15:20 ormaaj Note Edited: 0006177 2023-02-24 16:59 kre Note Added: 0006178 2023-02-27 17:37 eblake Note Added: 0006179 ======================================================================
