Sure, but still I see LSL as somewhat broken for serious applications
and I'd rather see it become replaced by something better sooner than
later instead of taking time to add new features to it which you might
need to reimplement later then. So the argument is that nobody should
be writing serious applications in LSL anyway ;-) (but everybody is
doing it because there is no alternative)l
