Re: [Gretl-devel] scrap "halt_on_error" switch?

Um, no, reversing the default is not good. We want gretl to halt on error unless "catch" is used -- which is the current default. To explain just a little more, the reason I don't like the ability to turn halt_on_error off is that it's likely to give rise to cascades of (increasingly incomprehensible) errors. A script writer should figure out if any commands might fail for good reason and, if so, use "catch" on them -- and not just tell gretl to keep going regardless of how messed up things are.
