Again, that's *linear* implicit parameters (%foo instead of ?foo).
Oh, you're right. I made exactly the same mistake you made, and right after you warned against making it too. I always thought "linear" was the ? stuff, but now I see it's not. Maybe it's best that it's gone so we only have one flavor of "implicit parameters" feature from here on out.
Don't feel too bad; the main reason I'm commenting on it is I managed to confuse a bunch of people in public before I was set straight on it, so I kinda feel a bit guilty when people are confused by it. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
