My ideal choice for separator tokens would be ", ^I". Wouldn't this be a clean and compatible solution? Nothing special about the ${MAINTAINERS} variable would even have to be implemented until it's convenient. > - Jordan -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
