Not true. The lexical analyzer would phrase all those different ways of talking
about an object into one. A few functions are needed to get the number of
buttons on a card which would amount to getting some data from a private
variable in a class somewhere. Commands that use strange keywords can analyze
the tokens as a command by command basis like the little-c interpreter does. I
still don't see the problem.
