I would love to be able to change the characters that merge uses - especially from “[[..]]” to “{{...}}”. Quite a lot of templating uses curly brackets - and I especially want to use it for wiki style templates which can’t use square brackets as they are used for internal links. Not sure of the m

I guess I see your perspective. For me it’s totally the right and natural thing. It’s automatically reset at the end if the handler. Personally I’d go the other way and say that if the lock messages were set command calls trapped by anything above in the hierarchy should also not get executed. I
