Hello,
[...]
I agree here. Although we aim to have full compatibility with K and S
configs, I am looking at it more as functionality, not as syntax. I am
using this opportunity for doing cleanups and removing unused/useless
functions.
In K we dealt very good with big changes between major releases, by
having migration guides in the dokuwiki. There were not many complains
about syntax changes.
So if the decision is to go for "." in string concatenation expressions,
let's stick only to it. Same for other cases, provide onlye one (and
good) option. Anyhow will be a big update, and in this case everyone
does testing.
Cheers,
Daniel

We could support them right now in parallel with
the old ones and
obsolete +, == and != for strings in the future (but that means we
still cannot optimize '+' in all the cases) or switch right now
(maybe with some old compat switch which will support old scripts
style).
I'd prefer to not introduce too much compatibility layers, this makes
debugging and maintaining both the code and the config script more harder
then necessary in my experience.
