I have implemented it, well formed logical expressions composed of '&&',
'||', '(', ')', '1', '0' and keywords can be used.
use assertions 'foo && bar';
use assertions 1;
use assertions '(foo && bar) || (foo1 || bar1 && foo2)';
And the old fashion implicit 'and' is still available
use assertions qw|foo bar|;
I have also substituted the ugly '&' hack to use the current status in
the selection for '_'
use assertions 'foo';
use assertions '_ && bar';
is equivalent to
use assertions 'foo && bar';
so you can use '_' in any place inside the logical expressions.
Finally, I have also changed '-A' switch to insert '.*' when used alone.
Bye,
