  Augh.  I hit send just as I realized that's backwards.  Need
  more caffiene.  Swap the true and false blocks there. :)


just having my 77th mug of french roast, so i'm hip.
...Anyway, here's one i'v been wanting to ask for years but
don't know where to pose.  Is C dead?  i mean, since it's
been official for years, can C add things like the unless 
keyword?  Can C include the perl regex packages?

if i asked this anywhere else, they would send out the men in
white coats an d haul me away.   here i'm safe:)

anybody know if we need a new C [[maybe D]] that would be
allowed to grow?

gary

Yes! Just use PCRE. Or, if you prefer C++, Boost.Regex:

There's already a D.  I don't really know much about it, though.
