Interesting point…
I've never used R by itself (though I often use r, q, etc. by themselves), so I
hadn't thought about this eventuality.
What about this being the right moment to use the [unused] @ symbol, i.e.,
address@hidden would mean 2 measures "at the current measure-duration"?
Thanks,
Kieren.
