Re: Syntax options for dynamic menu generation in grub-script

[BVK Chaitanya]

Other option Jordan_U and I talked about was:  When user presses "e",
positional parameters should be replaced with their exact values in
the source code displayed by menu editor.

Problem with this approach is, "shift" command becomes meaning less
and doesn't work inside menuentry definitions.  More serious problem
would be, when user modifies the values corresponding to positional
parameters, we need to update "$@", "$*", etc. variables
appropriately, which is lot more complex.  IMO this solution isn't
worth the gain.
