It has the disadvantage as compared to my more recent proposal \` that it has no running mate like ' to complete the expression in case that we want to write something like \`replace-count'} where otherwise replace-count} would become a single symbol. Or should we perhaps just discard a single optional _space_ after the expression? That would mean also \,(1+ replace-count) xxx ^ this space would get removed. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
