public use of your code of NamedStringFormatting solution? #222

Closed russaa closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I stumbled on your relatively old blog post about named-string-formatting, and have a question about it
http://haacked.com/archive/2009/01/04/fun-with-named-formats-string-parsing-and-edge-cases.aspx/

My question:
Would it be possible to use this code in a public GitHub project with a permissive license like the MIT license (or maybe you already have a LICENSE file that could be used for that purpose)?

I would be very interested in using & extending it with some custom options: I did port it to .NET Core 3.1 and extended it a little bit for a private project, but I would like to put it publically on GitHub.

As you noted in an update of the blog posting:
I think, string interpolation does not make this implementation irrelevant -- while it is great in some regards, it also has some limitations, e.g. that alignment expressions must be constant which prevents some interesting use cases (e.g. that a user provides a custom formatting string with alignment in a GUI).
