A hadn't thought of it that way but I guess thats what I'm aiming for.

Yes it has some interesting features maybe I could incorporate some of them ...

Yeah! My thoughts exactly!

Yes, that's my thought too.

LOL. I absolutely agree with you 100% :)

However, there are two points to consider.

1 I am talking about 'extensions' that would always be available but
could be developed independently from the core code if the interface
was already there, such as a parser extension.

2 Fossil is more than an scm, I am considering several applications
for, my own use, based on fossil, where the (it just works, and its
simple) principle is just what I want. I would like to write the extra
application code in such a way that when the fossil core code
is changed, all I need to do us update the core files.  If I need to
change core code then it would be difficult to maintain even if I have
only four or five apps.

Thank you all for your ideas, opinions and links.  I am still digesting them!

I have committed an initial prototype of the creole parser and made
a live version available for testing at.
