What happened:
The listing:
(~) Meow? olcr l kr
User Status Consultant Status Topic
krishna [1] (active/unseen) (0) xwindows
What I did:
olcr> r kr
Incorrect instance specified.
olcr> r krishna
krishna (0) does not have a question.
(It replays the log correctly if I do "r kr 1".)
What should have happened:
If I try to replay someone who has multiple instances, it should not behave
differently for a partial and a complete name. Actually, I'd like it to
behave in a parallel fashion to the way it behaves when I use a partial
but non-unique name, and ask me which I want, or default to the only instance
present. Ie, in this case, it should have replayed "krishna 1" for me. Had
krishna also been answering questions (ie, having more than 1 instance of
krishna in the queue) it should have said "not unique. which instance
of krishna do you want?" (Or something better formatted than that :-))
I've cc'd this to olc-wishes, since part of this is a wish rather than just
a bug report.
