I see what you mean. The documentation says "Since { can not be escaped, this syntax will only be recognised when the $ immediately follows the {." This makes no mention of "{ immediately following the $". In fact, that looks SO wrong that I'm surprised it isn't a parse error. I don't know how to explain the usage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-10 18:58:41] chealer at gmail dot com rquadling: who, me?
