Suppose with the existing sources an option (in a .opt file) is matched by a $< spec, and not by any other spec. Will it be rejected by the driver? It shouldn't be. Are you saying there is some pre-existing bug here, or that %< validation happens in more than one place so some setting of "validated" is redundant but the code still works correctly? -- Joseph S.
