SetState("preserved_class",10,Preserve) SetState(non_preserved_class,60,Reset) UnsetState(myclass)
Could we have states that preserved a numerical or textual value as well? Something like
SetState("preserved_value",10,Value,"5")
SetState("preserved_value",10,Value,"$(preserved_value)+4")
so that later on, one can do
do_action = ( GreaterThan($(preserved_value),10) )
and of course clear the value once the corrective action has been done.
This would be useful for fuzzy-logic type actions; I thought of it in the context of copying a large directory tree: I run the copy anyway once a day, but if one or more crucial files were missing, I would run it earlier, depending on the number of missing files.
Does that strike anyone as useful?
