It was added back in December 2009, and IIRC it was because someone on the list proposed it and i thought i'd be interesting (but then i never used it myself). As far as the other changes go regarding the # symbol - i'm still waiting for someone else to volunteer :). As a general rule, i don't like to change features which have survived the test of time (even if they're not 100% ideal, so long as their limitations are well understood and not generally problematic). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Since tyranny's the only guaranteed byproduct of those who insist on a perfect world, freedom will have to do." -- Bigby Wolf
