So if the pagespec is "* and !foo and !bar", it won't match +them. This is the much more common style. + +There's an odd inconsistency with entirely negated pagespecs. If "!foo" +matches page bar, shouldn't "" also match bar? But, the empty pagespec is +actually special-cased to not match anything. + +Indeed, it seems what would be best would be for "!foo" to not match any +pages, unless it's combined with a terminal that positively matches pages +("* and !foo"). Although this would be a behavior change, with transition +issues. + +Another approach would be to try to detect the case of an entirely negated +pagespec, and implicitly add "and !internal()" to it. + +Either approach would require fully parsing the pagespec. And consider cases +like "!(foo and !bar)". Doesn't seem at all easy to solve. --[[Joey]] diff --git a/doc/todo/comment_by_mail.mdwn b/doc/todo/comment_by_mail.mdwn index 085c4896f..6d3eeb044 100644 --- a/doc/todo/comment_by_mail.mdwn +++ b/doc/todo/comment_by_mail.mdwn @@ -46,8 +46,8 @@ Any comments?
