I gotta say I am decidedly unenthusiastic about this notation.  Well,
%qX is fine, but %`%' strike me as excess verbosity, surely something
better can be found?  (like, oh, scanning for `' pairs?  Or '' pairs,
which look better in the source with current X fonts?)

I too would prefer to avoid littering the code with %`...%'.

Less ugly-looking would be %<...%>, assuming that doesn't conflict with anything. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
