Bram usually does not make changes that have a reasonable chance to break existing scripts. I'm not a Mac user, but it seems to me that changing the meaning of existing feature names is very likely to break existing scripts. I think for this to work, the existing names should be left as is and marked as deprecated, and then add new names, such as mac_any, mac_unix, and mac_osx with the new meanings. This is just a suggestion, as it is Bram's decision. ...Marvin -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
