Re: Are option extensions exclusive?

2004-08-12 07:52:34


Extensions can be mutually exclusive, but normally won't be.

I was talking specifically about options.  Say extension "a" adds
":a" for a command and extension "b" adds ":b" for the same command.

Obviously, the script can use both

  command ":a"

and

  command ":b"

But can I use

  command ":a" ":b"

?

Again, that depends. If:

(a) The interpreter supports both extensions.
(b) Both are listed in the require clause.
(c) Both extensions can be used at the same time.

Then the answer is "yes". Isn't this obvious?
