There is even simplier solution to that: we can (and should) enforce space |
8 |
after usevar name. After all, these vars are garanteed to not have a |
9 |
whitespace in it ;). Also, it might become desirable to have a dash inside |
10 |
one of the use-vars, who knows? |
11 |
This is the latest format proposal (basically the same as now, just an attempt |
12 |
to enforce it): |
13 |
1. usevar definition is contained within a single line. |
14 |
2. usevar is followed by space (?any whitespace?) then goes a single separator |
15 |
character (we can enforce "-", but parser may not care) then description |
16 |
field. |
