Hello all,
I'm thinking that I'd like to get rid of option to do
set halt_on_error off
in gretl. But here's an opportunity to object if you are so
moved.
[...]
For (minimal) backward compatibility we could make it so that
issuing the command "set halt_on_error off" does not itself
provoke an error, but just prints something like "Warning:
obsolete 'set' argument ignored".
We could opt for a more gradual course of action:
* first, we reverse the default option to 'off' and we issue a
warning about "halt_on_error" being a deprecated setting whenever
appropriate
* in a few months, we scrap it.
Thoughts?
