Did the meaning of !M as an embedded formatting command change in IDL8??
I am running some code that generates plots that worked perfectly in
IDL7, but when I run it in IDL8 the entire text after the !M stays in
math mode, rather than reverting to the previous font after one
character. The online docs seem ambiguous - on
http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/Embedded_Formatting_Comm.html it is listed
both as "Switch to the math/symbol font for one character, then switch
back." under Positioning Commands, and identical to !9 in Changing Fonts
within a String.

This is going to be a real pain for any code I have that generates plots
in units of solar masses if that's "expected behaviour".

IDL> print, !version
{ x86_64 darwin unix Mac OS X 8.2.1 Aug 20 2012 64 64}
