Because I can copy two different (long) shapes of a phrase: a.) "Once upon a time there was a source maintainer who instisted on the theory that a string is string regardless of ellipses or what comes ever after" b.) "Once upon a time there was a source maintainer" How can I distinguish these? (and this is certainly an example of my [perhaps weird] writing real life). Juergen.
