I also agree.
I think it wasn't very good to change the definition of a IMHO very complicated,
but important meta-command like 0 GHOST.
Perhaps it would be better just to add the 0 GHOST in front of EVERY line which
is ghosted, including the lines between 0 MLCAD SKIP_BEGIN / 0 MLCAD SKIP_END.
Perhaps you could do this automatically (and implement this in a future version
of MLCAD). Viewers which only show the complete MOC without steps (like LDView)
could just skip the ghosted lines as if they weren't there. And the problem that
there are also lines which shall NOT be ghosted between SKIP_BEGIN and SKIP_END
(in springs, for example) would disappear.
And last but not least there would not be any downward compatibility problems.
I know, MLCad is Michael Lachmann's program, and he decides what he wants to
implement in it, but as long as the LDRAW language is to be extended, important
changes should be mentioned here at LUGNET.
For me as a virtual MOC builder it would be fine if all programs interpreted the
file the same way. But that does not mean that as soon as anyone adds a command,
all other programs also have to use it. That's impossible (and maybe even not
what we want).
