Man, I just wanted to see some of your proposed syntax! ;P |
| 17 |
Can you give us some specific examples where your syntax is cleaner than the |
| 18 |
existing (or the proposed additions.) Further, I can see it being tricky to |
| 19 |
maintain two syntactic forms, so unless you can show us how much more |
| 20 |
simple it is, I'd vote for just the amending the existing one, as it isn't |
| 21 |
really that cryptic. Your `example' misses out the cat/pkg which tends to |
| 22 |
make things easier to read imo. |

#gentoo-dev-help (irc.freenode.org) is a great place to ask about this sorta |
| 24 |
stuff btw. |
