Good morning,
this is again about authoring a function package and using ui-maker.
Take conditional sensitivity, for example. I'm often making the
mistake that I don't use a string there, i.e. I don't put the name of
the argument in quotes. Example: _(depends=hey) instead of
_(depends="hey").
When building the package (via gretlcli -m), gretl doesn't complain
about this, it just doesn't work (understandably). It would be helpful
if gretl complained if the type is wrong in this context, i.e. not a
string.
Well, the variable "hey" could well be a string, in the context
of the
ui-maker function, containing the value "hey". Just sayin'
