I've already dropped the "Pick-to: 6.2". There was no overwhelming 
interest in having this feature as soon as possible. So, we've lived 
with the problem in 6.0 and 6.1. We can live with it in 6.2. The 
discussion on whether we should claim the "@" symbol for this feature is 
still important, no matter when we introduce it.

cheers,
