[Remind-Fans] Question for the Remind hive mind

[Dianne Skoll]

Hi,

I'm adding a feature to Remind that lets you globally omit weekdays.
For example, if you have a bunch of reminders that should be skipped
on weekends, you can write this:

   PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT
   OMIT Sat Sun
   REM ...
   REM ..
   REM ...
   POP-OMIT-CONTEXT

rather than having to put a local OMIT in each REM statement.  So the
question... In the following situation:

   OMIT Sat Sun
   REM ... SKIP OMIT Fri MSG Hi!

Should the effective list of omitted days be Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
the union of the global and local OMITs?  Or should a local OMIT override
global weekday OMITs so that only Friday is OMITted in the REM command?

Current behavior is the union of the global and local OMITs, but if most
people think overriding would be more useful, I am willing to change it.

Regards,

Dianne.
