Hey Jiri,

The downside is that, while the compilation now works on those
systems, the pattern will not work as intended in them :o(
Let me cook something and send it ASAP.

Well, do you think this is really a big problem? Even if we add nice
docs?

I haven't tested something that works with this syntax on a capable
system and then on one that doesn't, to see how it would behave,
probably it would say something about a syntax error?


Most likely, yes, it would be flagged as a syntax error in the event name.
I'd prefer we fix this. I have the new patch ready, do you want me to just
send you that patch instead of the series?

Thanks,
AgustÃn
