it's impossible to shorten L() macro itself probably

code is in .b.i

Couldn't find the script. Maybe a pointer, or send me the file via email?

Well, Matrix has 12 digits, seperated by commas within the standard "<" and
">" and needs matrix keyword, that's 31 symbols minimum. now let's see
above: only 30.... And you'd need code to generate the matrix in the first
place...

  Commas are not always mandatory. For instance you can write an identifier
name right after a number, without any separator (ie. comma or whitespace).
