Yes, of cause, this symmetry would be nice, I have thought about it. However, $L is ambiguous syntax, there can be a name that is $L, so this might even break existing tables. I could do is so that if there is no name $L defined, then use it. But this is also confusing, and of cause not stable if someone does define new names. Maybe we should use something else to achieve symmetry, like @> and $>. Comments? - Carsten -- Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
