This is the main thing I have been looking forward to for the past several years. The goal was to allow the addition of truly new syntax and functionality to the language. I really wanted this, and widgets is what it has turned into. Not that widgets aren't a good thing, but I'd really like to be able to use: repeat for each line L in someText with index i apply myFunction to X until the value converges apply (+1) to every item of myList where it mod 2 = 1 ...and many, many more.
