[GNC] Use of "dash" as a Separator Character

[Adrien Monteleone]

I’m using 3.6 on MacOS.

It says, emphasis mine:

A legal value is any single character EXCEPT letters and numbers, or any of the following strings: “colon” “slash”, “backslash”, “dash” and “period”.


There are three missing commas in that list, but the intent is still clear. The ‘or’ is extending the list of exceptions beyond just “letters and numbers”.


It should probably read for clarity and grammar:

A legal value is any single character EXCEPT letters, numbers, “colon”, “slash”, “backslash”, “dash”, and “period”.

Thus, you cannot use:

letters
numbers
colon
slash
backslash
dash
period

Regards,
Adrien
