Agreed. I love the fact that you can rip out huge pieces, or add
in something with a lot of ease (and you can teach yourself C with
them ;)

[snip the moods.h example, and the example of how they are parsed.]
And then, sometimes you just have to say, "Goddamn, that's cool."
(grin) I am sure it's very easy for a great number of you to just
whip up something like that, but personally, I found it a very cool
idea, one which I probably would have never though of, or something
that would have found its way eventually to the to-do-someday list.
Perhaps I impress easily, but I liked it. Many of you do that, I just
thought I'd comment on this on, though quite frequently, I find myself
doing the same thing; "Dang, why didn't I think of that?" ;)
