Well, using myself for an example, I'm used to using a completely 
different set of tokens and substitutions for that sort of thing. I 
think SL is the only thing I use that supports the old IRC syntax. I 
find it awkward, and it would be nice to be able to use conventions that 
are more common to the software that I use. As a post-processed 
substitution token, though, I just don't have the luxury to use familiar 
textual communication modes.
