I was afraid that would be it. The extra syntax kills it, along with the extra 
import required, along with not working with #betterC.

You can still #thagomize it, or turn it into an object, etc., with:

     Object thagomize(string, ...);
     ...
     thagomize(i"foo%bar");

It's just not the default.
