Aaaaah.  We broke this when we converted tiger to an internal style.
Rats.

Yuk.

I also see that we lost the ability to map icons in tiger.  I was using
the creation date to color the icons.  This probably isn't worth doing
in xcsv.

Alex, what's your take on this?   Did we swing the axe too far?  Shall we
consider tiger too "un-xcsv" is and just go back to the C version?  I wouldn't
be unhappy with that.

I just applied a fix to the intenral parser to allow quoted # (i.e. \#)
to appear on input.  That allows 'PROLOGUE \#tms-marker' to do what
you'd expect.
