| Oct 6, 2015 at 10:51 | comment | added | Szabolcs | Is there any documentation on how usage messages are supposed to be written to play well with auto-completion? Related question and comment. There's no problem to solve, I'm just trying to find out if I can improve auto-completion (and usability) for my packages. | |

Sometimes the explanation flies over my head, but a lot of times, I learn something from it (and even when I don't immediately understand, I can always come back to it). I think little nuggets like this (even if not incredibly exciting) go a long way in making these questions be more than a poor-man's bug tracker. Thanks again! :) | |

You've got a long way to go... the bar is set high :D Seriously though, thanks a lot for the explanation! The main reason I suggested this was because personally, I find it fine (or "meh") to see a plain "fixed bug" status with no explanation on something like, say, Skype which I merely use as a tool and couldn't care less as to what went wrong.

| Feb 3, 2013 at 23:56 | comment | added | John Fultz | I don't know whether to expect that people will like this kind of answer or not. Maybe this answer was a mistake, or maybe it will be controversial. And I'm sensitive to doing anything which might be interpreted as karma-whoring. But egged on by rm in the comments above (the comments after the question), I decided to put it out there and see what happens. If you thought it was a waste of bytes, or an annoying list of excuses, or whatever, please say so. | |
