Nah. If you really want that, just make the strings %T% and %C%
automatically substitute for those links, if necessary. Hard limit on

longer names. Hard limit on sigs for everyone!
Seriously, my only complaint with silly sigs is trying to wade through

Tony (and others) - what length and display mode of
page editing gets
