The difference is that most tester apps won't be that useful to real life
users, and real life is where most bugs show up. If we wrote XCMDs we'd
instantly multiply the base of testers. Virtually everyone on this list,
for example, will be able to do some real-life tests on the code and maybe
even use it in some little project.

This would be an additional bonus. We'd see how well the XBF file format
lends itself to storing stacks or retrieving them again.
>It's not too bad (ok, I confess: it's a PITA)
Well, I haven't gotten it to work properly yet.
