This just makes it more obvious. :-) Seriously, if we were talking about 4.x I might have more sympathy, but I believe this is an appropriate behavior to change in a 5.x release. Apparently the CVS developers also felt this was an appropriate change for minor point release. Finally, there was overwhelming support for this change: over the past month I've received several requests for it; and RE received several requests to incorporate the change in 5.2.1. > Note: this is what my earlier mail was about. I haven't seen an earlier mail on this subject from you... I guess I could have missed it?
