Re: Poll remove exact address code? (was: Re: Obsolete features)



Hello Rocco,

    I know of 2 guys using +EXACT_ADDRESS, but after discussion it
appears that it's not for any serious nor good reason. I may seem to
guess that it's not far from the false assumption that "exact" is better
than "not exact"... Where we see wording importance. Or a (weak)
preference for the deprecated "address (name)" syntax. IMHO the feature
can be safely dropped.

    BTW I wonder what is the nature of the stated brokenness?


Bye!    Alain.
