My first thought was {fu'o} without {fu'e}, but I know better... Say,
after typing (or saying) a paragraph, I would like to reveal that I
was being sarcastic the entire time. This roughly resembles the
occasionally used in geeky forums "</sarcasm>" construct without a
corresponding opening tag. I've also found myself wanting this for
other emotions and after some thought, recognized that I basically
want it to apply to UI.

As far as I know, this isn't expressible in lojban (not that it's
expressible in any other language I know), but it's something people
have a desire to do.

Does this warrant an experimental cmavo, or should it be left as is,
with something like {no'i je'u nai} (or something else) standing in?
