I think that is a good new feature to propose. Historically, the config_set_multivar() function has been one of the most buggy part of the then-current codebase. It might be a good idea to clean-up first and then enhance. But in either case I am quite reluctant to touch this part of the code right now before 1.5.5, especially without extra sets of eyeballs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
