−	~~::* Use an underscore in the mask to represent the position of a digit and in the final output the underscore will be replaced by an * character.~~

−	~~The mask "_____9999" will produce *****1234~~
−	~~:*New special operator names were added for clarity:~~
−	~~::* Use !len(str) or !strlen(str) to return the length of a string (trailing blanks are ignored.)~~
−	~~:::* It is now valid to pass a numeric value to !len (and !strlen). The value will be converted to ASCII and that length will be returned.~~
−	~~::* Use !pos(str1, str2) or !strpos(str1, str2) to return the position of str2 in str1.~~

−	~~'''Backwards Compatibility:'''~~
−	:* The underscore character now has a special meaning in numeric formats. It is unlikely that this character was used previously in numeric edit masks, however, if it was the new behavior is different. Previously an underscore was treated as an insertion character, starting with E.8.4.4, the underscore (in numeric masks) will be replaced by an * to mask certain digits.
