I prefer clean data | structures. The proposed syntax is cleaner than shoving arbitrary stuff inside [bleh]. Any new [role:] tags will require an EABI bump anyway, so there's no reason to stick to your proposed syntax to avoid future backwards compatibility breaks. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Sig_opXvrxaqS+6ssbfvzx_hxwI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDsI7896zL6DUtXhERAkxoAJ4lKDVllIRpvQcabqtNpyWFIHjfuQCg3B40 xxm+YY3py0CNUuNV0I8d5vM= =6waM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_opXvrxaqS+6ssbfvzx_hxwI-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
