Here's my latest terrible/brilliant idea for AviSynth:
I write a lot of complicated scripts, and possibly the biggest hindrance is the fact that AviSynth doesn't automatically parse multi-line statements. I would absolutely love it if AviSynth had an alternative parsing mode (triggered by a first-line comment or something, like a shebang in a Bash script) where statements had to be ended with a semi-colon (
, like C, PHP, Javascript etc, to avoid needing backslashes to write multi-line statements. It'd make commenting out lines in the middle of statements simpler, too.
Anyway, on the basis that if you don't ask you won't get, that is my ask
More of a suggestion, really, that it may percolate inside pinterf's brain until one fateful day when it leaks out into the code.
