5566 :: Where is "taint mode" documented?

• pmags (orginal) [2019-11-20T14:46:37+01:00] view original

  The nim standard library uses a distinct string type called TaintedString in various places. The docs for system tell me that this is:

  A distinct string type that is tainted, see taint mode for details. It is an alias for string if the taint mode is not turned on.

  and point to a section in the manual https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#taint-mode that doesn't exist. Can someone point me to a definition of taint mode and how it's used?

  That part of the manual is now in the experimental document here:
