🧠 What is G-Merge?

G-Merge is a proprietary scripting language used by Gammadyne Mailer to:

• Process incoming emails
• Extract and normalize email addresses
• Apply filtering and validation rules
• Insert or update records in databases (ODBC / SQLite / SQL Server)
• Automate email list management

This extension does not execute scripts — it only provides editor support.

⚠️ Limitations

• No code execution or validation
• No autocomplete (yet)
• No linting (planned for future versions)

🛣️ Roadmap

Planned improvements:

• Autocomplete for built-in functions
• Snippets for common patterns
• Basic linting (syntax warnings)
• Documentation hover hints
