Personally I never used rbrowse, only abrowse. I think the reason is that all my use cases were to find something given the exact limit. There is a fear that inexact search may return less or more [irrelevant] results than needed, so I avoided inexact search. I will miss abrowse. I think it is good to have a command operating on the exact limit, rbrowse does not do this task very well. I would leave 2 commands with their specialized syntaxes as-is, even if you unite the implementation. Or maybe add --regexp to "abrowse", I don't know... In any case, I may cope with replacing abrowse if the new command does not lose the functionality. [And BTW, I like that you changed rbrowse to use consistent 2 spaces for indentation, less crutches for front-ends.] Regards, Mikhael. _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
