You had a type in my email address, but nevertheless :-) on 01/06/2011 10:46 Andrey V. Elsukov said the following: > > For a summary: > 1.

So still no way to specify custom offsets that won't get mangled? I don't think that this was a consensus. At least I and, IIRC, Warner have never agreed to this. I would agree to current behavior being the default one, but I think that there must be an option that allows to override any alignment. > The "-g" option seems useless until this behavior will not be changed, > so i did not add it. > > 2.
