I have sometimes found this inconvenient. I think it should only be interpreted as a line continuation unless it exactly matches "....: ". I believe it would be better if any other "..." at the beginning of a line were treated as a wildcard. In this case there would still remain one special case where you can't have a wildcard immediately followed by the string ".: ", but having that one special case is acceptable (and easily documentable). Obviously though, even though this has annoyed me multiple times in the past, it was never enough for me to do something about it. But if somebody else wanted to implement the fix I described above I would support it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
