Comments
The original intention was to design a comparison library that was highly extensible with a small number of options. Implementing That said, from a end-user perspective, I can see how the two being in the same package can be convenient. At this point in time, it's a bit awkward to merge |
Presumably everything in cmpopts would be replaced with a forward to the corresponding symbol in cmp, and marked as deprecated. I think the separation makes a lot of sense from the perspective of the implementation, but it's pretty confusing as a user. Even as a user with an above-average understanding of cmp's internals. |
