Ah, I think I understand... but if you're saying that this should be something that can be done on an individual basis I think that's a bad idea, it would lead to confusing looking code and inconsistencies.
There should be an officially sanctioned .. whatever it is this thing is called. That way whenever you look at someone else's code and see it, you know what it is, and people can update their code parser's/ syntax highlighters appropriately. - Greg On Oct 12, 2009, at 2:59 PM, DanL wrote: > > On 12 Okt., 20:46, Greg <g...@kinostudios.com> wrote: > >> Forgive me, but I'm unfamiliar with the readtable, are you just >> referring to where this syntax might be implemented?
