We should think long and hard before putting anything into Fvwm that
would preclude us from adding a real interpreter later. What I mean is
that the only problematic commands that Fvwm has so far is "*", "+",
"function" and "module". If we add "if", "then", "else", "{" and "}"
then we could have much worse problems later. I'm not saying no to this
just be careful about the choice of names. I think { and } should be
avoided because they will be used by a real interpreter. Is it a big
problem to have to put multiline blocks into seperate functions so that
the if-else construct takes only one command (short form)?
Cheers,
Tim.
