Package: enum
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
This works:
# Count from 40, 4 steps per, 25 times, & print it backwards.
% enum .. 25x 4 .. 40
... but not this:
% enum 25x 4 40
ERROR: Combination of command line arguments could not be parsed:
25x 4 40
But the latter dotless syntax would be easier to type, and
the trailing 'x' in '25x' seems properly unambiguous.
The man page describes other COUNTx usages:
% man enum | nl | grep COUNTx | grep -v LEFT
107 o enum .. COUNTx STEP .. RIGHT
112 o enum .. COUNTx STEP ..
113 o enum .. COUNTx .. RIGHT
121 o enum .. COUNTx ..
125 o enum COUNTx
Only line 125 dispenses with the leading '..', yet the other lines
would be unambiguous if the leading '..' were removed.
In line 107, the '..' following 'STEP' also seems unnecessary.
Hope this helps...
