That would be Gromit laying his railroad tracks. Really? I can see that 'line at a time' parsing would be a desired thing. But if I can avoid the occasional problem by returning to a fresh prompt, it would seem possible to have the same functionality via some other mechanism. Mind, everything up to a sem has to be syntactically complete of course, so none of the mayhem we were talking about a while back. OTOH since this is the first time I've ever seen any issue of this sort, I can quite understand that there's not much call for it. In my case it would simply let me get more done with a single recallable line like I first showed. > } It seems this sort of thing is only a problem with aliases, or at > } least that I've seen so far. > > Aliases are one of those things like "setopt interactive_comments" > that actually changes the parsing. > > torch% setopt interactivecomments; echo # this is not a comment > # this is not a comment I've heard of that and I'm afraid to even think about what it does. Anyway, these are good cautions about aliases.
