Yech, that's awful. It looks ugly and it commandeers a punctuation
symbol that we might wish to use for something else someday.
I thought the "S" suggestion was much better than this.
Personally I am not unhappy with the existing behavior, because (unlike
Greg I guess) I use \df and \do to look at system definitions all the
time. However I'm willing to accept \dfS on the grounds of symmetry
with the behavior for tables. I don't really want to put up with a less
convenient behavior *and* a gratuitously different syntax.
