yes - I was aware of this when I first installed this lib several years ago.
The install script (SQL) had the FRE_IT syntax in and I didn't change it. It
certainly doesn't harm it. I imagined that the UDF itself is manipulating
strings internally to do it's work. And finally I just put it down to
thinking that Greg Deatz knows more about writing UDFs than I do.
