Subject: Re: typebuffer different from typefile
Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2016 15:20:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <EC67C6D9-B1D8-447B-9AE7-2B7EE3F22A96@uva.nl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <571CE08C.9010004@gmx.es>

The point is not that I am without options for a practical solution here. 
My point is that the difference between \typebuffer and \typefile breaks the strict and so much appreciated congruence between like macro calls.
Therefore my post must rather be seen as a plea to the maintainer(s) of these to consider a change in the given direction.
