2. Isn't the goal so that we can have 10,000 different, often

basic things like setting the rect of a button?
To quote Gilbert & Sullivan: "Well, yes, that's the idea."
Not too different from the status quo, though, is it? I can already
modify the bounding box of a button by setting its "left", "right",
"top", "bottom", "topLeft", "topRight", "bottomLeft", "bottomRight",
"rect", or "rectangle" pseudo-properties.
Some people believe that programming languages should be designed in
such a way that, for any given task, "There should be one - and
preferably only one - obvious way to do it." This is not the design
philosophy of LiveCode.
