The question is perhaps more rightly put as: How many uses $^ ( and
would need to change to $" ). I must admit that I don't and therefore
I am in favor for getting $" in. It might make me lookup what it is :-)

I also think 'if not' was cute and would happily fix the (very) few
'else' that I have if I got it back.
