keyword/named selection is *really* great for longer/more busy patterns, it makes format string much more readable both in-code and for translators (who usually lack part of the context, even with comments, especially if they are non-technical). I think this is one of the great strengths of Python's string formatting (both C-style and C#-style) or Ruby's string interpolation, and if the formatting language is going to be reworked away from C-style formats it would be nice to include it if possible. I don't think it can be integrated directly into the current grammar though, as there'd be ambiguity with the function spec. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
