	the word "LAST" means you have scope rule in mind...

	If I got the above %tab directive defined, and the following line is
	passed to magicpoint,
\tthis is test, this is test
	magicpoint will recognize this as follows:
%size 4, vgap 40, prefix "  ", icon arc "coral" 40
this is test, this is test

	%vgap will be applied right away at TAB and this affects ALL the text
	after the TAB character.  There is no scope rule in magicpoint
	directives and directives affects everything that follows the
	directive.  How to implement such a scope rule in clean manner,
	and how should .mgp file be formatted, are still unclear to me yet.

	I see, that is of course possible.
