Subject: Feature request? print -e to eval ?
Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 13:17:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170905131714.GA17160@aurora-borealis.phear.org> (raw)
hello people,
i don't know about you but i often eval something i just printed.
for exemple:
status_as_flag () { eval $( print -P "${1?flag name}=%(?.true.false)" ) }
when it would be nice to write
status_as_flag () { print -eP "${1?flag name}=%(?.true.false)" }
(no more subshell and more readable)
what to you think about the idea ?
regards
