- My operators and engineers are telling me readability trounces anything else
I don't actually find it harder to read. What reasons do your operators
and engineers give you that they are unable to read a few more digits?
Do they have a similar problem with interface counters? Should we
implement a proposal to change interface counters to 34.34553 to allow
them to be read easier?
- As for regix, what is wrong with "_x.y_" for ASN "x.y"? Escape character "" is invented exactly for this reason.
The problem is having to have two cases. One for ASDOT and one for
historical ASPLAIN
It's much easier to extend the datatype used (as it's normally defined
only once) than add conditional rules in to every regex in a program.
