This is also available via git pull git://github.com/jboecker/org-mode.git for-carsten I tried to document the new behaviour as concise and clear as possible. (If anyone reads this and finds it too confusing in any way, please say so . I introduced the changes, so I know what they do and why, but the docstring has to explain this to people who do not.) While I could not make it any shorter than my first draft, I hope that the clear separation of the three possible interpretations of a string as the file identifier and the short example for each one will allow the reader to quickly find what they need without having to understanding all of the complexity first.
