Urgh. Or do 1. as well as 2. and have escape sequences. Also urgh. It's a theoretical problem and Jakub has shown that there is a workable solution with the current syntax. He's also shown that we couldn't handle distinguishing "foo bar" from "foo\tbar". That is, surely, also entirely theoretical. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
