Not sure, but I like it better that way.

No.

But of course, everything after "sys " is system-dependent.

Try it, I do not know.

Yes, I do think it's a pity that ")se fu ca" can not be turned on from within
spad or aldor. At least, I do not really know how to do it. On the other
hand, it's very easy to do it yourself: (untested)
remember: Table(DomA, DomB) := empty()
f(arg: DomA): DomB ==
res := search(arg, remember)
if res case DomB
then res
else
...
And of course, in input files ")se fu ca" just works.
