Speaking as a user (although not of Andrew's domain specific language), I'd like to say to developers PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't try to "help me" with half-baked unreliable solutions that only work sometimes. There's few things worse than unreliable tools that break just when you've come to rely on them. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
