Sorry, since it did not work for me in any standard application I've tried
(Carbon seemingly won't even show the question cursor; Cocoa would, but I
found no place to click by it to get any result), I jumped to conclusion it
was trashed completely, and for once I did not checked. I stand humbly
corrected.

I am quite glad that this great functionality still lives; now we all (and
Apple first) should start using it where appropriate!
