We ended up not getting much in the way of response, and I'm kind of
reluctant to mess with things here. The thing that would probably make
most sense is allowing all the article savers to accept a "r" symbolic
argument to control raw-or-not, then default the pipe command to raw.
Otherwise this is the only command that takes a special modifier to use
the raw article and then... we default to raw. It doesn't quite make
sense!
I'm going to close this bug report, but Maxim if you feel very strongly
about this please re-open.
Thanks,
Eric
