I wasn't aware that Beagle implemented such a change (otherwise I
woul dhave raised my concernes then).

I don't intend to block any such changes.  I just wanted to make sure
everybody involved is aware of the consequences.  [I would not have
added the text file import mode if I did not consider it useful :-) ]

So if you consider this a useful change, please feel free and go
ahead.  It is fine with me.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
