RE: DASL single-character wildcard

Thanks for the informative link.  I already knew that the character had been
changed in DASL, and I already knew that SQL uses '_'.  How about reopening
the issue, however?  I must not have been paying attention when it changed,
because Xythos has long implemented the '?' character which was in older
versions of DASL, so the change has a negative effect for us.  Is there
anybody else who cares either way?
