Depending on how it is implemented, I think it would be intuitive to use. I'd find having "=" vs. "!=" and "~" vs. "!~" straight forward. You are of cource right that there is no "massively pressing need" atm. But that was not always a reason for a new feature ;) -Marc -- 0x35A64134 - 8AAC 5F46 83B4 DB70 8317 3723 296C 6CCA 35A6 4134
