fwiw, I had a patch that brought it in to 9front; it would be nice to have the free caret updates, though I don't care so much about the 'foo=bar' syntax that much, and I don't love dropping the yacc grammar. In the end, it fell by the wayside. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T1dee2a7aea3f7fa3-M0728a9504900e041f371262c Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
