My thoughts on this subject.
1. First and foremost, my focus at the moment is on getting rc-1.7 out
the door. Whatever we conclude on this issue, I'm not making any
changes before then. (So far, nobody's reported any problems with
rc-1.6c6; if you've found any, please tell me ASAP!)
2. I agree that there is a real problem here (although we've all
managed to muddle along somehow till now).
3. Any solution must be simple. If you want zsh, you know where to
find it :-). (The other heavyweight shells, such as bash and tcsh,
have also gone down the "twisty little maze of startup files"
route; rc will not. Promise.)
4. I'm not at all keen to introduce any more compile-time options.
This implies that we must seek a solution which is acceptable to
everybody (or almost everybody).
5. I'm keeping a note of the various ideas that have been suggested.
When the discussion dries up (or descends into flamefest), I'll
post a summary.
Tim.
