Hi,
$ pick -seq lp all
42 hits
$ pick -seq lp notlp
pick: sequence lp full
$ echo $?
1
$ pick lp
42 hits
$
It's a wart that one can't inverted a sequence that's `full'. (I don't
think the error message is tremendously clear.) I know sequence's can't
be empty, another wart?, but they can cease to be. Perhaps pick should
`mark -seq lp -delete all' instead. Yes, I can script that. I suppose
I'm raising awareness of this edge case so it doesn't catch others out,
especially when it's happening in a script.
