If you use 5 or more / before a command.

e.g. /////say Hello. You'll retrieve an error message in the status window.

Quote:

/SAY Unknown command

I noticed that ages ago but assumed it was intended.

The number of times things evaluate doesn't go up after more than 2 slashes so it's kinda pointless to support anymore.

%a %b
%b %c

//echo -a -> %a
Output: -> %b
///echo -a -> %b
Output: -> %b
