Agree. (There must be a way to globaly turn off the () feature except when a
married name is registered for relevant marriage.)

I would also like to see something like "He was also known as John Berg,
John Hoyden and
John Helset." rather than the current "other name: John Berg. other name:
John Hoyden.
other name: John Helset."

BTW, when I choose Identifiers: "All names" to get the latter list above in
an ancestor
report, the list ends with "User ID: 1234". Is this correct, I would excpect
the User ID
to be printed only if i choose for example "names, user ID"?
