73.Can now use & character as a wildcard one word match, eg.

& lines would &
These lines would match


//if (& & iswm ab cd) echo match

--> doesn't match

//if (& iswm cd) echo match

--> does match

//if (& iswm &cd) echo match

--> doesn't match (no it doesn't confuse the &cd for a binvar because //if (& isin &cd) echo -a, works fine)

//if (& iswm cd&) echo match

--> does match

My point is, there seems to be some inconsistency in the way & matches, and it would be nice to see the behaviour of & fixed.
