Anthony,
what is new syntax in your case? E.g. if I wanted to add a command:
laugh about <value> when <expression>
would this be new syntax?

I guess we can make this a lot easier if we have a document that describes
in detail how to add a new command, what to watch out for etc. A
walkthrough that describes how to e.g. add the above command would really
help. If we can't get it any easier without sacrificing a great deal of
speed, we can't; but if you see a way to make it easier, it'd be greatly
appreciated.
