Forget it, Michael. None of the proposals considered backward compatibility, and they break it six ways from Sunday.

Um... So you're telling me that a program that knows what to do with this:

        ? [ -d backup ]
{ ::; + backup; | cd backup; | rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,32d`; }

Could not also understand (and do the right thing with) this:

              :0 c
              backup

              :0 ic
              | cd backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,32d`

If so, why?
If no, I don't understand your complaint.
Please enlighten me.

Aloha mai Nai`a!
