   Yes, it has symmetry with ! and +!, TO and +TO - that's why I like it   
   (plus APPEND is already taken in 4tH for signalling file append mode ;-)   
      
   Why should they change it? Well, it has just become *THE STANDARD.*   
      
   Poor man's solution : +PLACE APPEND ;   
   Hans' solution:       AKA APPEND +PLACE   
   ANS 2012 solution:    SYNONYM +PLACE APPEND
