That is allowed, with the exact same syntax as Python. But then you still lose the qualification so I don't see any benefits, it's just more boilerplate to constantly adjust, git conflicts to fight with, etc.

Nim's import rules are part of its generalization of OOP's obj.foo() syntax. That is, in Nim, you don't have to put "foo" in a specific class, just set the first parameter of "foo" to the type of "ob

The difference between valid PNG you can't decompress and invalid PNG is fairly irrelevant when your aim is to get an image onto the screen. And considering we already have plenty of more advanced competing lossless formats, I really d

chawan has a custom terminal module, so my knowledge about the standard X/Open curses is not that great. That said, for the actual escape sequences, XTerm's ctlseqs.ms[1] is an invaluable resource. I also took many ideas from nick

The intention is that it should "just work"... I'm aware sometimes it doesn't, you can consider that a bug :) But if you really want custom CSS for grid displays, chawan does support the standard "grid" media f
