I think this new proposal is better, because it will not force writers to use its means nor users to do anything special nor formatters to do anything special... While someone who want to use this methods can do with special utility tools ("swaprd.rb", "splitrd.rb", ...), others who don't want to use it are not required to install such a special util tool. And there is no need that matz include such a special utils into Ruby distribution as well as include RD formatter into it. (Because users can read RD without any util tool and formatter) Maybe, this proposal doesn't make influences upon RD spec.. So you can do that without change of RD spec. and formatter. Oh! while I'm writing this mail, \cle make rdswap.rb!! :-) --- Tosh
