Looks good but, what if you want to add a value that starts with a /
character? We must find a simple, complete and easy to learn syntax
for
this...
This is always going to be a problem as soon as you introduce any kind of
expression
which is to be interpreted other than literally. The obvious answer is,
you must
escape the / with a \ Another solution is, to introduce a new option -A;
-A would
take a string to be interpreted as a value expression, -a would be
interpreted
literally.
The trick is, like you say, is to find the solution which puts the least
confusion
on the users.
Yes. We need more ideas.
Huh... that would require to capture snapshots of the records in the
evaluation of the SEX. Complex stuff..
Hey! Who said it was going to be easy?
Heh, that is the spirit! :)
