I recently changed the semantics of the '@' action flag

the rule once only and, in case of match, to return.

Now it applies the rule recursively and exits AFTER
with success.  This was necessary to allow the (much
useful) recursive application; the old behavior, as
clearly indicated in the man page, can be restored
by combining '@' with the "apply once" flag, e.g. ":@"
