No. I think you think I didn't understand? I do understand your proposition. The leading-period I *like*.

My cursor. Looking for space-space that (if your proposal were adopted) would mess up my pasted external text. Admittedly, if it were a 'mode" of some kind, I could choose not to use it, of course.
