Welp, space isn't really _that_ much of an issue compared to the symbol itself.
All things being equal, a thinner character is better than a big fat character
like "+". Let's see what people think about "!" after seeing it for a little
while...I seem to remember visiting a discussion group site once which used a
small orange "!" image to mark something that was important -- it didn't seem
to me like a "don't read this!" but obviously a "read this!".
(Anyone else reading this -- if you think "!" is a terrible choice or have
another suggestion, please let us know! We can certainly try out "*" if "!"
sends the wrong impression.)
