That's true in my case. Earlier this week I did make a first attempt to understand how SVs work. In the short term I'll need to construct a workflow that lets me do more than trivial experiments with SVs. I rely on Elias' gnu-apl-mode for APL input. To work with SVs I'll need to patch gnu-apl-mode to provide for additional command-line options (so I can pass --SV --id # to GNU APL). Or something... It seems inelegant to have to customize each running instance of Emacs to set up an id. At this point, I don't have any definite plans for SVs beyond experimentation to help me understand the strengths and weaknesses of the approach.
