Zack,
I've been meaning to do something about -A- for a while, but
never got round to it.
To me it's counterintuitive that -A- clears all macros as well as all
assertions. What do you think of -U- for all macros, and -A- for all
assertions?
If -A- is only a >= 2.96 thing anyway (I believe it is), then we won't
be breaking anyone's makefiles or whatever from an official release.
But if we let -A- slip through now, we won't be able to "fix" it in
future whilst maintaining backwards compatibility.
Do you have an objection to my splitting the functionality in two this
way before 3.0?
Neil.
