The * and ? flag has been here the whole time.  All you have to do is
set the external variable 'msflag' to a non-zero value.  This is what it
says in my Lattice 5.04 manual.....
 
BTW..I totally agree that #? is a respectable pattern but its placement
on the keyboard is too goofy for me.  Why use 7 fingers to enter #? when
all you have to do is slap the * key on the numeric keypad!  :)
