Speaking of letter capitalization,
Between the v10/jerq implementation of sam and the plan 9
implementation of sam, the '@' operator (which behaved like '*' except
it also matched newlines) was removed.
Please make shit up to explain this and/or tell us if you actually know
why.
Thanks,
khm

The '@' operator (c=ANYNL) behaved like '.' (c=ANY) not '*' (c=STAR).
Apologies for the egregious misinformation,

It went away because it wasn't necessary.
