I'm not disputing the fact that register is better left unused, I'm just disputing the statement that it doesn't cause any changes to the code generated. I would much rather have ripped all the register stuff from regex, but I was trying very hard not to _change_ anything, just add. That, we a certain committer I know was planning replacing it by Spencer's latest code. -- Daniel C.
