I have not.. Might be expensive. I'll see how that goes. Thanks! I suppose my imagined solution is either "raw" forms of %n or %F which ignore $reverse_alias (hmm, _only_ $reverse_alias? you can see this is a can of worms) or some kind of index-message-hook which fires per index line, letting me toggle various settings. They're both clunky and I'd probably oppose unrefined forms of them if someone else raised a PR :-( Cheers, Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au>
