I have committed the change in master (9763857d8857a14f2a20c05e5ed552ca47bba3d8). (my git-fu is weak, and the changeset is small, so I manually made the change and committed, instead of pulling) I have also added support for evaluation of '$STY' (the next commit), which might also be useful for some tasks. Thanks for the patch! Feel free to send additional patches for useful things! ;) Sadrul
