. . .
The "feature" isn't much of a feature since:
1) SUBLIS isn't careful to not remove SUBLIS properties that it didn't put there.
2) It only works to put a SUBLIS property on the front of the property list.
3) It doesn't work to say (sublis nil ...). (It doesn't look at ANY properties
in that case.)
I think you misread my previous reply - I mentioned only that at one time
(i.e. prior to about 1972) this had been intended to be a feature; that
intention was never carried out.
