Hi Honda,
Well several people wrote in to support your idea, and nobody
complained, so I have gone ahead and applied your patch to the
sources. In fact, being the nice kind of chap that I am, I also
applied the patch to the 2.11 branch, so that when that is released
in will be in there too.
I made two changes to your patch. Firstly I created an entry in the
NEWS file mentioning this new feature. Secondly I changed the code
inside add_specified_symbols() so that it could cope with lines that
are terminated by \r\n, so that it will work under Windows(tm). I
also added the ability to use '#' as the start of a line comment,
because it was simple to do, and it is always a good idea to be
able to add comments to files.
So, thanks very much for submitting this patch, and I am sorry that
it took so long for it to be accepted, but it got through in the end.
Cheers
Nick
