I agree, it does sound ugly and I'd expect it to get in the way of that code being developed from a trivial example into something more mature. I also don't see much benefit in having the scripts embedded in the generated documentation, simply mentioning that they exist and where to find them should be enough. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
