The (;i:...) construct is still currently supported, although it is deprecated as it's not really the correct syntactic replication construction. The (|i:...) construct is right; what doesn't work is the older syntax of (:|i:...)

[nbingham1]

The syntax I have written is (|:i:...) with the extra colon just before the variable name. Perhaps a warning about future deprecation would help. Low priority anyway, just figured that I'd make note of it. :)

It now complains about a parse error for the (|:i:...)
