Re: [paragui-users] Tiny detail about the PopupMenu.

[Andrew Ford]

I think I've suggested that before, but now I'm not so
sure.  For one thing, keeping two versions of every
function is going to be a pain.  For things like the
style arguments, you'll almost always be using const
char*, so changing them isn't worthwhile.  I
personally would rather use strings for arguments such
as labels and so on, and I think it's better style,
but I don't know about forcing people to use them.  Of
course, the user doesn't know if he passes in a
regular char * to a dynamic string whether it's copied
inside paragui or not (of course, they are), whereas
strings would always be copied so the user wouldn't
have to worry about it.
