Re: [Gretl-devel] qlrtest
Dear Allin,
Excuse me if my former mail sounded to demanding. I was not demanding
the immediate implementation of this feature. Of course I know that
Jack, you and the other gretl developers are busy and have to take care
of family things etc.
My mail was rather intended as a suggestion or long-term feature
request. Maybe I was a bit naive thinking that its realization is rather
simple and straightforward.

Excuse me, Artur, but of course it's "possible" to store the break
date. It's merely a matter of:
1) Design decision: what shall we call the new accessor variable?
2) Design decision: can this cover any other "extra" information
that might be stored with other hypothesis tests?
3) With the design decisions taken, write 3 or 4 new C functions and
edit maybe half a dozen gretl source files.
4) With the new code added, document it.
5) Test the addition for bugs.
Meanwhile, the gretl developers have classes to teach and even
families to interact with. We're not sitting around watching TV and
eating chocolates!
