Re: [Gretl-devel] Midas syntax, small issue

There's a certain amount of redundancy here: do we actually need

mds() and mdsl() anyway? The hflags() function lets you specify minlag
and maxlag any way you wish.
That's right. I'd even say that the extra letters 'mds' might already be
redundant, given that the Midas context is already given by the
'midasreg' command.
So instead of this:
list gip = ld_indpro_m?
midasreg ld_qgdp const ld_qgdp(-1) ; mds(gip, 0,2, "umidas")
one might have:
midasreg ld_qgdp const ld_qgdp(-1) ; gip(0,2, "umidas")
or perhaps:
list giplags = hflags(gip, 0,5)
midasreg ld_qgdp const ld_qgdp(-1) ; giplags("beta0")
Maybe the argument ordering may have to be reshuffled.
cheers,
