Jorge,
Based on the counter arguments provided by Paul, I now tend to agree to
what he says.
1. The current method (+LINE FILE and using awk to arrange stuff) has been
working well for me for quite few years.
2. It makes sense to have users stick to one convention (+LINE FILE)
instead of having users now split between "+LINE FILE" and "FILE:LINE".
I do not use copy/paste manually but instead make a shell alias using that
awk snippet do things. So with either "+LINE FILE" or "FILE:LINE", I will
need that awk script.
That said, I appreciate the effort you put in in creating this patch and
this reply, by no means, is intended to discourage you from your future
work (especially in C).
