It's not harder. I'm saying it can't be accepted as a community
contribution, because whichever way you slice it, it involves binary
stacks.
It's on a computer, Ali - ultimately everything is binary. :)
Let's not let Github's limitation impede meaningful work.
What we need is a way to ensure that the changes applied are the changes
we want.
Format is a distant second to that, merely a means to that end and
something we can overcome.
Let's brainstorm ways to fix this critical problem holding up so much of
the work we could be sharing.
It may not be Github, but it doesn't have to be. Github was designed
for C programmers working on the Linux kernel. Different problem,
different tools. If we need a uniquely-LiveCode solution to assist with
some parts of IDE development, well, it wouldn't be the first time
LiveCode's unusual nature requires fresh thinking.
After all, the reason we're all here is because LiveCode isn't like
everything else.
Let's do this.
