I'm not alone, either. I have talked about this with my collegue in PUPA, and he agreed with me. I'd like to know why it is a bad phylosophy. In many systems, aliases are often provided for convenience. Look at test and [. Look at true and :. Short cuts are also a kind of aliases. I don't see anything wrong with this. "There should be only one way to do a thing" is Python's phylosophy, but Perl developers wouldn't agree with you. Of course, "I like it" is not a good reason. But menuentry is too long to type. This is good enough for me. Okuji _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
