Oops; fixed.

My intent was to register it with the m- prefix from the start. I think 
it would complicate parsers if they had to worry about the same 
parameter having two names. Can you envision that the same parameter 
sometimes will be required, sometimes be optional? To me, that type of 
parameter probably assumes too much about knowing the receiver.
