That's my point. Use perl now if you care. Except for non-executable files which /would/ require a parser and we'll have to be stuck with one or another. Use Perl now. Write DETAILS in it. Executable DETAILS gives you thif freedom.


Ah, OK I see where you're coming from.... and you'd be happy if I did that would you?

Why wouldn't I? Maybe sorcery wouldn't because they need to parse files sometimes, but me? I like DETAILS a+x, as I like majority of how sorcery/grimoire is designed and built.


Well, the argument was weak, but I liked the conclusion :-)


The argument was not well conveyed, and appears to be different from what you thought it is :-).


I'm still not quite sure what you're advocating. Either you're a staunch defender of the status quo or an agent for chaos ;-) Come on Sergey, which is it?

Tony


You suggested DETAILS be non-executable, I think the way they are is much better. As for your question, definitely chaos ;-).
