Hi, I've been doing some MCS lately and I particularly started disliking the dot range operator, as in 'c0.c1023'. It seems to be an underdeveloped way of saying 'all categories' or perhaps grouping them. I would welcome a 'star' operator that would do the former and a more intelligent naming mechanism to express the latter (ie. let's have a facility that can group 'dogs,cats,horses' as 'mammals' and 'mammals,insects' as 'animals'). It imposes a range where there isn't. The range is in fact dependent on the exact order of delaration. If you declare 'category c1; category c0; category c2;' then 'c0.c2' does not include c1. If you use named cats rather than c0-cN then even this little sense of range goes away. Finally and most importantly sets of such 'consecutive' categories tend to get 'range-ized' at numerous places. If a seuser is assigned to have 'dogs,cats,rats' then semanage will tell you he's got 'dogs.rats', leaving you to figure out what's 'in between'. What do the list members think about this?
