He could be using it like this:
Code:
$+(.timer,.,%command) ....

But then, I'd guess it'd be to make his code harder to read (since he doesn't use a variable in his example). Which there aren't many reasons to do, since I've learned from a few snippets on how to do stuff before, and I'm sure many others have aswell.


Those who can, cannot. Those who cannot, can.
