Okay, sure, so I added the term "replacement" to what you said because that's how I understood it when I read it (as in "drop-in replacement"). My mistake.

Well, TBH, it's news to me. I've never seen any documentation about what you are describing nor have I ever seen it mentioned anywhere online that I frequent. Do you have any links I can reference to know what you are talking about. I'm trying to understand how I should go about implementing what I proposed in the way that you suggested implementing such a feature should be done if it's done at all.

Sorry, there's not much I can do about it. I don't have any option to reply in the style that you are using with my client.

I don't even know what you are talking about, there is no "replacement"
system and I never suggested there was. What I said was that libmakepkg
is by definition extendable by simply dropping in new components, which
shouldn't be news to anyone...

The source contains many examples of how to extend a bash array. :)

Also, your emails look a bit wonky -- your top-posted responses to
selected quotes appear above what seems to be a *forwarded* message,
which is honestly kind of confusing to read.

Also, your paragraphs don't line-wrap properly, which should only happen
in HTML emails since HTML emails have better ways of doing text layout.
