Yes, it's not for 5.38. If it had just been refaliasing then it could have been, but local is too widely used to change it at such short notice. (When I reported the bug I thought that it was just refaliasing, and put it down to that being an underdeveloped feature.) -zeframThread Previous | Thread Next
