Continuing a time-honoured tradition of MusiXTeX add-ons in languages
that only the developers themselves are comfortable with; I'm as guilty as
any, what with M-Tx being written in Pascal. It means that when we (some
of whom are at the age when we constantly need to redefine "elderly" so
that it doesn't apply to ourselves) finally get too ga-ga to program,
maintenance stops.

The community really should have a project for converting these add-ons
to Lua. It is ironic that, so far, only musixflx (which, being in C,
least needed
it) has been so converted.
