For the time being, I still find partially aligned is more readable, and the worst of all being GNU Make. But I think this is an opinion of a user (who turns out to be also a programmer). But I understand. Paul> It's not a big deal, really. Agreed. This is really for my information that I'm willing to learn your feelings about this. One must really have time to waste and little care for others' people time to report this as a bug.
