But this would break an established and documented API. If a maintainer waives that, that is fine, I will change it. There is an argument to be made that this was a bug, and we fixed it (and this would be ok under our API promise), but we already documented the fact that the lower-bound would be assumed to be zero in the case of single-argument specifications. We could add a "length=" keyword which the user could pass in-place of arguments - that would account for the specification being a length, not a range. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
