My counter proposal would be:
PathDelim=/
Key‐matching should be case‐insensitive and strncmp() be used to check
for the short forms. That way the dyslexic, the standard and the lan‐
guage nazis are right. It's a win-win-win situation.
That’s how a variable storing it would be shortened and maybe that’s the
reason why programmers don’t know how to write »delimiter«.
Sincerely,
Christoph Lohmann
