Yeah, I'm mostly convinced by your arguments. The other issue that has to be decided pretty quickly is whether to leave the append mode (starting lowerdir with ':') or remove it now and replace it in the next cycle with a mode that doesn't play games with separators (i.e. adding layers one at a time). The only argument I can see for the current append is that it's possible to add multiple layers at once, but it's also redundant once we add the one-by-one append mode and I'm not convinced that it's worth the complexity and the mess with having to escape separators. What do you think? Thanks, Miklos > > Thanks, > Amir.
