Re: [naviserver-devel] Proposal: just an idea about config syntax

[Vlad S. <vl...@cr...>]

By implementing it in C and using Tcl_Eval ascripts will be executed at 
global level and all variables will be visible.

It is just may result in supporting 2 diferent config styles which may 
add maintanence and confusion but overall i personally like new style better
