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. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> You tollerday donsk? N.
