@dansup I know you can always do it with an external editor. But there is a middle ground between 'make it impossible' and 'make it easy'.

I don't believe AR filters are harmful, but a few people in my replies do.@dansup As a developer, you can't know how they are used. But instead of using this as an argument to hide behind, you could rather use it as an opportunity to ask: How can we do better?
Most harm is done when AR filters are used to deceive. Implementing a clear indicator (one that can't be switched off by filter developers without forking the whole app) would be a good step in the right direction.
Being able to block content using a specific filter for each user would be another.

None of the "code generation" stuff is new by the way.@thomasfuchs As if "how good the software works for people" has anything to do with profits.
The prospect of saving 9% of that 10% software work is worth millions in profit for managers.

when do you usually use the man page for a complex command line tool to answer a question you have?@b0rk I'd say I'd indeed look at the man page first. I've still voted "other", as I immediately turn away if it doesn't give a usage example in the first few lines.
I need to know if it's the right tool for the job, and only very few man pages declare what it does properly. I often need stackoverflow or blogs for that.
Then I return regularly to the man page to look up syntax of what I already know is there.
