st: Display of unformatted value in browser

As a late adopter of Stata 11, I recently found out that unlike Stata
10
...<
and below, the display of information in the data browser is slightly
different and was wondering if this was done on purpose (and if so for
what
reason) or whether it was an oversight. If I had a properly formatted
date
variable in Stata 10 (%d), viewing this variable in the browser would
display its true unformatted value in the top box. Doing the same in
Stata
11 would reveal its formatted value. I found the previous behaviour
useful
to quickly verify that a date variable was properly read or created.
