Yah, I added it only for compatibility (since Todd said he had it
hardwired, I thought maybe he wasn't the only person).

But the general feeling seems to be that it's ugly. And I have to
agree: it's confusing syntactically with `pget', and semantically with
`cat'. Not such a good idea, really. I'll revert.

Todd, hope your feelings won't be hurt :-).
