Well, with my new syntax suggestion, it's still possible to retain the
old syntax for a while, possibly with BIG LETTER WARNINGS that the old
syntax is going to disappear with version 4.0.
The alternative is, of course, to just remake the syntax as we see
fit, release 4.0, and then watch the flood of people whose ctwm
suddenly doesn't work as expected.
Aho, I hereby appoint you as primary contact for that kind of complaint ;-)
Cheers,
Richard
