David - Kudos on Grasshopper - it really is fantastic. I am posting this here under the 'wish list.' New functionality of sliders is great, but how about inputs for 'lower limit' and 'upper limit?' Example: say I want to use curve evaluation at any point along the first third of a curve. I could get the length of the curve, divide it by 3, and then plug that into the 'upper limit' input on the slider.
