I (not having used those grep options frequently), would find it hard to remember if "-A" meant "blank line after this" or "this after a blank line". I am more visual person, so I'd find the separate eblank/eseparator easier to visualize, and the look of the ebuild src would match the output more naturally. As for why it would be more useful than eerror/ewarn without an argument: it would potentially allow for intelligent "context-based" coloring of the "*" (based on surrounding lines). -Joe -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
