Surely, running
<hansl>
tt = time
discrete tt
aggregate(whatever, tt, whatever)
</hansl>
doesn't look as particularly vexing to me.
Yeah well, I actually knew I could do "setinfo ... --discrete" (which
BTW also begs the question why there have to be two ways of declaring
something as discrete, but hey). But I was sick of adding workaround
after workaround.

But you're not just any other gretl user. You're a gretl developer, and
this is the devel-list. Bug eradication is one of our jobs.
Today I didn't want to be a developer, I just wanted to use gretl. The
reason I was posting to the devel list is because of what I found.
