Lack of functions. Being able to abstract out what you're doing into something with a comprehensible name is a pretty basic software engineering requirement. Yes, you *can* rearrange everything so that you ensure that all the code that wants to do something sets up some variables and then you loop over them, but then you're contorting things out of the most readable way to express them to work around limitations of the build tool. thanks -- PMM
