It's not your fault that the command doesn't work. As I said, the previous
version didn't work either, as far as I can tell from the CVS sources, and
your December hack was certainly a major improvement with respect to other
problems. The fact that nobody discovered that the command doesn't work for
many years shows that it's a very subtle bug (or a seldomly used command).
I found it paradoxical, though, that those who argued that this is a very
useful command which should be kept at all costs have never been able to
use it, while I, who do have a selective fire-at command on my Mac don't
find it particularly useful :-).
