ah; I understand what you're saying now.
I have yet to see a convincing argument for this approach, though.
essentially we would be converting a huge number of existing scripts to fit
in a format that we know is already in widespread use for chain selection.
why not use the carat for insertion codes, and escape it for regex searches?
I understand how it can be done, but please explain why it is necessary. I
promise I will shut up, even if we have to agree to disagree... :-)
supporting a symbol (^) for icodes seems easier than dealing with an external
conversion routine. for example, one has to assume that the routine won't
work in all cases, especially in early stage of implementation, and someone
will have to deal with those issues.
