Hello Tom,
I think we should just leave this as it is. The user can simply rename
the file.
Yeah. The assumption when we defined the script-weight syntax was that
there's no particular reason to use "@" in a script file name, and
I don't see why that's a bad assumption.
The "parser" looks for the last @ in the argument, so the simple
workaround is to append "@1".
I suggest the attached doc update, or anything in better English.
