Argh! Not only are we supposed to make a choice of syntax, which effects every user we'll ever have, based on one implementation (or integration) strategy for one language environment, but we're doing this because some of these systems are buggy?! Total argh. "^foo" scans like "not foo" for many people who know something about logic, I think. "@foo" -- please, kill me now. "+foo" -- unspeakably wrong. Sorry, I don't mean to be nasty, the asemantics guys are great!, but these are all much worse than "?foo". Best, Kendall Clark
