+>>>> `%params` contains the parameters passed to `pagespec_match`, not
+>>>> user-supplied parameters. The user-supplied parameter to a function
+>>>> like `match_glob()` or `match_link()` is passed in the second positional parameter. --[[Joey]]
+
+>>>>> OK.  That seems reasonable then.  The only problem is that my PERLfu is not strong enough to make it

+>>>>> I can't figure out how to use the %params.  And I'm pissed off enough with PERL that I'm not going
+>>>>> to try and figure it out any more.  There are two patches below now.  The first one uses an extra
+>>>>> argument and works.  The second one tries to use %params and doesn't - take your pick :-). -- [[Will]]
+
 >> What do you think is best to do about `is_globlist()`?  At the moment it requires that the 'second word', as
 >> delimited by a space and ignoring parens, is 'and' or 'or'.  This doesn't hold in the above example pagespecs (so I just hard wired it to 0 to test my patch).
 >> My thought was just to search for 'and' or 'or' as words anywhere in the pagespec.  Thoughts?
 
+>>> Dunno, we could just finish deprecating it. Or change the regexp to
+>>> skip over spaces in parens. (`/[^\s]+\s+([^)]+)/`) --[[Joey]]
+
+>>>> I think I have a working regexp now.
+
 >> Oh, one more thing.  In pagespec_translate (now pagespec_makeperl), there is a part of the regular expression for `# any other text`.
 >> This contained `()`, which has no effect.  I replaced that with `\(\)`, but that is a change in the definition of pagespecs unrelated to the
 >> rest of this patch. In a related change, commands were not able to contain `)` in their parameters.  I've extended that so the cannot

+>>> `[^\s()]+` is a character class matching all characters not spaces or
+>>> parens. Since the pervious terminals in the regexp consume most

+>>>
+>>> So why exclude them? Well, consider "foo and(bar and baz)". We don't
+>>> want it to match "and(" as a page name!
+>>> 
+>>> Escaping the parens in the character class actually changes nothing; the
+>>> changed character class still matches all characters not spaces or

+>>> 
+>>> Re commands containing '(', I don't really see any reason not to

+
+>>>> Oh, I didn't realise you didn't need to escape parens inside [].  All else I
+>>>> I understood.  I have stopped commands from containing parens because
+>>>> once you allow that then you might have a extra level of depth in the parsing

+
 >>> Updated patch.  Moved the specFuncsRef to the front of the arg list.  Still haven't thought through the security implications of
 >>> having it in `%params`.  I've also removed all the debugging `print` statements.  And I've updated the `is_globlist()` function.
