Yup.

Well, it would work if I could do something like this:

  $SearchPatterns['drafty'] = $SearchPatterns['normal'];
  unset $SearchPatterns['drafty']['draft'];

Assuming that's even correct PHP. I really do need a version with draft
exclusion, and a version without, sometimes on the same page.

For now I can just create my 'drafty' version by hand and try to keep it
in synch when I add new patterns to the 'normal' version.

It would also be fine by me if I could augment the pages returned by
list=normal in the pagelist command like this:

(:pagelist list=normal group=Group name=+*-Draft:)

In some ways that would even be better, as it would solve another
problem I posted about a week or so ago.
