rcs isn't the issue. I'm already assuming a local store, a networked one just makes my argument even easier. >>I'm not saying nested comments solve every problem, just that > > I don't miss them. :-) Fair enough. > Well, I believe they are since it looks like a habit of yours to use > multiline comments. It is common for people coming from other programming > languages that support them. Yes I cut my teeth on C, C++, and Java. That was a long time ago. I don't miss them because they're more C-like (the C-family actually has an awful implementation), I miss them because they're useful. Actually I never used multiline much until I did a project in ML and saw how they should work. However the last 4 years I've used Perl, Python, and PHP almost exclusively. I'm used to single-line comments, I just find their expressive power lacking. No shame in borrowing the best features of other languages. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
