[Xotcl] Default-value substitution using substdefault

[Gustaf Neumann]

Dear Maxym,

I've looked again into your original problem, concerning measures to address
the problem earlier. The problem is that nx/xotcl are very liberal on 
what is
allowed as a property name (maybe sometimes too liberal). In the example,
the string "srv,substdefault=0b111" is interpreted as the name of the 
property.
When accessing the property, the name abbreviation rules kick in, and 
one can
access it via "-srv", but as well via every other abbreviation such as 
"-srv,subst".
Since the whole spec is treated as a name, "substdefault" does not kick in.

I have added now a warning to complain about suspicious characters in a
property name, that hints an error (here a ",").

We are close to a new release of NSF, but I will wait for your feedback....

all the best
