I do not think "it's a good feature to have" was a question from the
beginning.  Thread [1] stopped with me saying "as long as >(N) can
be used as Duy claims as a workaround to get the original behaviour,
it is good to allow using >|(N) for this new output format; I didn't
check if >(N) does behave that way, though".  What was necessary to
resurrect the patch was "Yes, >(N) can be used that way and here is
a test" or something like that.

That is quite nice enhancement.
