Any attempt at changing/removing it is going to require a good deal of effort, especially if it involves going to a variable number of arguments. Why exactly do you want to change dotmode? Is it because you don't like the syntax or is there another reason? Btw, I did not mean to imply any lack of coding skills in my other post, just that there was no easy solution to the problem. You have obviously given this a lot of thought.
