Could we have a strict mode that would enforce quoting terms (this would be used in code) and a lax version that could be used in interactive mode, where backward compatibility is not so important? On Sat, Jul 23, 2011 at 6:39 PM, Eric Evans wrote: > On Fri, 2011-07-22 at 21:29 -0500, paul cann

I would like to see this list also used for announcing upcoming features. At some point a decision is made that some future version will include some important feature. I don't want that information to be buried in a JIRA ticket or a user/dev list discussion. For example, I was surprised to learn,
