Re: [C++ PATCH] Make parser revert digraph "<:"


And the issue is which definition is most common, not which we can
choose to make an obscure message somehow meaningful.  I rather fix
the obscure message.

| Words are ambiguous.  There are usually many possible interpretations, only
| some of which make sense in context.  In this case, there is only one
| interpretation which makes sense in context, so that's the one I choose to
| use.  Clinging to an interpretation which doesn't make sense, and then
| complaining about it not making sense, seems perverse to me.

That may be perverse, but that is NOT what is happenning here.

I'm again astonished at the amount of time you're willing to spend on topics that seem to me to be extremely unimportant. :-)


In any case, since this discussion doesn't seem to be going away, I'll chime in.

I, like Zack and Jason, think the message is perfectly sensible.

FWIW,
