Weak reason: I introduced callback for "read" because it is really slow. However, "readarray" is fast enough. Callback may be useful but it is not necessary. Strong reason: When I send readarray.c.patch to the bash maintainer, I have to explain what readarray is. To make the explanation I'll write simple, I'd like to make readarray simple and small as possible as I can. Without bashdb background, the maintainer may not understand why callback is needed; and I may not explain well the background to him. Masatake |
