After all this combinatorics I still do not know an answer to a simple question. With the current system I can do
grep -v '^#' .config > config.stripped
copy 'config.stripped' back to .config, type 'make oldconfig' and hold <Return> for a while to get my old .config back. This is actually very useful, and used every day, although maybe not precisely in the manner as above. :-)
So, the question is: can I do something something like that with CML2? If the answer is "no" then something is very seriously missing and no references to halting problems can cover that. If, OTOH, the answer is "yes" then what is a big trouble?
