Okay, Steve, what was your argument against selective quoting (ie. the
F4 function)? (I don't want to take issue with it, I  just want to
understand the issues.) I'd prefer that this be another thing that can
be changed from some global options dialog, so that it's *truly*
optional, ie. the choice of default is itself an option. (Much of the
argument on this list seems to be over what should be the default, when
this can easily be addressed by making the default configurable.)
