Do NOT do it this way. Command modifiers on the arguments is silly. I will reject anything like that.
I'm not modifying the command but I _AM_ modifying the parameters to it.
Yes, that was what I was saying: this is silly, and will be rejected.
The idea was to be able to specify the width of either the left- or right-hand-side of the test expression (or both).
Makes no sense to me. It's incompatible to any kind of command interpreter / shell I've ever seen.
What I'll do instead is (as you also suggested to avoid future clashes) is change the name and make the command do a test of specified width (as defined by a command modifier) - it will still do what I wanted but not in the same flexible way I had envisaged.
Synopsis?
Happy New Year!!
Thanks, the same to you!
