I've taken parts on this patch, Thanks!
I took:
- the obslog alias, it is obviously clearer.
Maybe we should drop the "olog" one?
I've not taken:
- "obsoletelog" I'm not sure about he "obsolete" usage here. I see the
point of having a full long name, but maybe "obsolescencelog" or
"evolutionlog" would be clear?
- addition on "^", this affect something in the helps (I forgot the
details) and obslog might be a corner case enough so that we might want
to keep the basic help tidier. I'm open to discussing this further in a
separated patch.
Cheers,
