Still a bug, even in a proof-of-concept, though I was aware of one of 
them. There are also issues with the upper/lower case of the input 
argument. In any case the reason for a proof-of-concept was to allow 
discussion, and see if and how this feature might be integrated.. Do you 
want it John?

Huh? It does if you use mark_as_command....

That is where are the "inverse" and "inv" functions here..

Ok, this is one I didn't know about.
