I'd prefer a "clear on exit" feature, to prevent potential information 
leaks (sometimes my patterns contain customer names and such).  I asked 
about that a year or three ago and don't recall what happened.  Not a 
big deal, but I thought I'd mention that since it kind of came up again.

Nice ideas,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
