A friend of mine [we go back to 1968] has recently 'gone' for the 10 day trial of
LiveCode Commercial 9.6.8 and made an interesting remark re this:

Where about 28 add-ons are explained . . .
"Why can't we do that in the LiveCode language itself?"
and when I demurred, said,
"But, in the last language I worked with, everything was done inside that language as it was set
up so that could happen rather than depend on extensions."
Of course, when I asked him what was the last language he worked with he said, COBOL.
HOWEVER, I do tend to agree with his question.

Same name, different person: my friend Cecil was at school with me.
Perhaps a good thing as the American Cecil Gauze is dead:

Pardon me, but "stepped into glory on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010" made me split my sides laughing, as that
seems one of the most ridiculous euphemisms on the planet.
