    They're part of the same deal. And I'm currently fixing the patch. Hugo suggests things be done a bit differently, and Jarkko agrees. (The big problem is PL_sawampersand is globally scoped...)

      Yes, I've been quiety following the thread in P5P. Yet another example of why global variables almost always turn out to be a Very Bad Idea, no matter how clever the programmer or how convenient they may seem at the time.
