I don't agree that we're *adding* magic. We are however replacing the current set of magic: + reflection - yes we use that right now... + new pseudo language - replaces the old pseudo-language + new metadata format - replaces the old metadata format which the programmers shouldn't know or care about anyway. + new developer tool - replaces the two existing tools (one for fortress one for merlin). Will attempt to dissolve your reasoning in another mail, though! /LS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
