Multiple Choice Dialogs

[ttscoff]

The b70 update includes a new feature which allows you to create multiple-choice dialogs that can load different snippets or run different commands based on your selection. The syntax is very coder-ish, with arrays and dictionaries (or objects). I'm open to suggestions on the syntax before it gets nailed down.

Check out the docs for details.

Let me know how it works for you. Maybe this is a feature nobody needs, but I already modified my Coding.bunch to consolidate 3 different Bunches into one, which I think is kinda neato.

Nice feature! I like it. I was experimenting with the query dictionary and noticed an inconsistency in the documentation. The doc says the syntax is key => value, but the example shows key : value. (I'm partial to key : value, but I'll use it either way.)

Oh, right, I changed that after writing the docs. I like the colon separator, too, but I got concerned about dealing with cases where there was a colon in the key the user wanted, and didn't want to get into making the keys/values require quoting. So the old-school ruby-esque `=>` seemed like a safe bet. Definitely still willing to reconsider, though.

Oh yeah, good point. => is better in that case.
