But what if you say po-tay-to and I say po-tah-to?

Quote:The only exception is the list: I disagree with the current behavior of exploding the list, I think it should pass the EVAL to its elements, just like any other unary operator on a list. But it was kept there for compatibility, as I saw code using that to explode lists. I'm in favor to change it, maybe you should start a poll or something.

Yeah, I've used it that way myself. But I'd be all for changing it.

Quote:EDIT: I can probably add ULIST or something like that to do this, so ULIST TMENU would give you that special custom units menu.

That would be the ideal solution.

Sigh. Of course you're right, sorry about that.
