I'm sorry that I don't have anything more constructive to say than
"ick", but ... Ick.
Well, maybe I do. Forget $P1. If the user wanted $1 from the
previous RE, then they should have saved it somewhere. This would
eliminate the "major" RE-engine changes to make $P1 work. But it
would require that the p52p6 translator make some really smart
modifications.
