Thanks Eric!  Actually I found this just after I got internet  
connection back up on the train, just too late to send a reply that I  
found it.  But my next question was should I file a ticket for the  
matcher, which has already been done.

One comment I have, though, is that I don't understand why some darcs  
commands (contents, files, repo, authors, tags) are hidden inside  
`darcs show`.  Or, if this is ok, why - seeing that the description  
for `darcs help show` is "Show information which is stored by darcs."  
- `darcs changes` isn't in fact called `darcs show changes`.  There  
appears to me an inconsistency on one side or the other.  Any thoughts?

Definitely.  How much of Saturday and Sunday are you around for?  (I'm  
still not sure what I'll be doing, but it's probably going to involve  
a few more festival events...)
