[Bashdb-devel] munge_list

[Masatake Y. <je...@gy...>]

I'm reading readarray.c.

I have two questions.

1. Is the function provided by munge_list needed anyway?

   I'd like to remove because this option parsing policy(function)
   is not widly used in bash.

2. What does the * stand for in the following doc string:
   
   "readarray [-t] [-c *count*] [-C callback] [-n *lines*] [-O *origin*] *file* *array_variable*"

   `*'s are needed in *count*, *lines*, *origin*, *file* and *array_variable*?

   I'd like to remove it because this notation is not popular
   in bash.

Tell me the backgrounds if there are.
