Not really.
But, but... flex documentation is pretty clear about [getting rid of] backing
up being very expensive :
"Getting rid of backing up is messy and often may be an enormous amount of work for
a complicated scanner."
Okay. Maybe it didn't take you long to /maintain/ backup-free rules, but it
took me quite a while to remove backing up on the existing rules, when I made
the patch to clean up warnings.
I am not convinced that patterns requiring arbitrary amounts of backing
up make for a good choice of lexical units.
Right. They probably don't.
So I am against removing this advice independently from patches that
might actually require this removal.
Agreed,
but I'll still pout a couple more times that you get your Schemy-dashes and
underscores but I still have to refer to the motif from measure
