But actually I meant inheritance for named specifications > like macro specifiers (and they are not required to use regexps). The problem is that I need at least two variables with very complex doc-strings then - one for the regexps matching part and one for the macro specifications. I'm afraid users won't digest such a design. Obviously I could make the former only an association of regexps and macro specifiers and leave the complexity in the design of the macro specifiers ... martin
