> I preferred the previous example "<id>" because it's not obvious what \042\047 is.
Yeah, but the example I wrote has an in-pattern backreference and a real reason to use one.
In the attached patch, I have changed [\042\047] to [\'\"]. That's certainly clearer for everyone who has not memorized the ASCII table in octal! (Oops.)
> And a bullet list would be less heavyweight IMO.
Well... I rejected that choice because there would be no clarifying columnar distinction between contexts and syntaxes. Personally, I think the table is clearer. It makes it easier for users to find what they need know.
>(Also please use "diff -u"; without context, the patch cannot be applied automatically)
Oops. Attached. |
