This method has two variants: *:int Insert(const char*, bool check_for_dups=true) *:int Insert(ExprTree*, bool check_for_dups=true) New {quote:ClassAds} already have a compatibility version of the first variant. For the second variant, we'd probably use new {quote:ClassAds}' Insert(), which takes the attribute name and value as separate arguments. The check_for_dups argument does not appear to be used anywhere. Developer time: ???
