  Re: [LSC] Colour Definition meta-statement
 
(...) I won't make any guarantees, but there's a reasonably high probability that I won't even try to support the above, even if it's what the spec says in the end. It's too much of a pain. Additionally, it disallows further expansion of the colour (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: [LSC] Colour Definition meta-statement
 
(...) I don't want to specify that some parameters are order-specific, and others aren't. I'd rather they are all one way or the other. Goes back to easier 'correct' parsing.
