Subject: [relax-ng] Compact syntax proposal: allow redundant , and & and |
I should like to propose that we allow redundant commas (or vertical bars
or ampersands) just before a right paren, square bracket, or curly brace.
This would allow:
foo = (
attribute foo1 {text},
attribute foo2 {text},
attribute foo3 {text),
)
bar = element bar {
element bar1 {text},
element bar2 {text},
element bar3 {text},
}
Allowing such redundant separators makes it easier to maintain lists
by hand. Perl allows redundant commas and C allows redundant commas
and semicolons in similar circumstances.
