Re: [bug-gawk] Gawk Enhancement Suggestion

[arnold]

Hi Ed.

Per my earlier mail, I have no plans to write this in C to make it a
gawk built-in.  I am happy to add it to the doc, but I will need from
you:

1. Some prose giving a blow-by-blow description of how the function
   works, similar in style to what's in the gawk manual. I can handle
   adding the texinfo markup if you'll write the text.

2. Signed paperwork assigning copyright to the FSF.

If you're willing to do both, let's continue working offline.

Similarly, if you wish to contribute such a function as a loadable
builtin, I will add it to the dist, but you'll still need to write the
C code and sign paperwork.

Thanks,

Arnold
