Okay, so ...

I am attempting to replace the [BASICDAMAGE] section of the Characters GDF with a custom formula. This section takes the st(), thr() and sw() tags; obviously. Does GCA permit me to add custom tags to this section (and reference my tags to make the formulas more human-readable) or do I get to live with the sprawling mass of numbers?

Admittedly, its' more of an aesthetics question than a technical one but I figured I'd ask in an attempt to make it easier on me to debug my stuff.

Also! Does anything break if thr()/sw() returns "1d+0" rather than "1d"? Figured I'd ask this one before finding out the hard way. Heh.
