http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_Law_of_Triviality I think the more interesting area actually is defining names for a bunch of variables, e.g. msgno, recno. "mailbox" rather than "the_box" - so that patterns are searchable more easily. That and I've made 'struct buf' a bit more powerful - it would be good to have a standard way to use it, and to use other classes. There's already a "use xmalloc and friends" in the docs, but some of the newer stuff is less clearly specified. Bron. -- Bron Gondwana [email protected]
