What is the big benefit of distributing parts of standard library in mutilated
form -- with comments stripped off and files merged together into one?
Maybe in the early nineties it made sense from resource saving standpoint,
nowadays, I believe, it is more harm than good.
My major complain is about plot -- because this is the part I want to modify
most often. But other library files bear "NB. built from project:
~Source/classes/..." mark too.
My suggestion is to to include those parts of library, that are currently in
the "compressed" form, in their natural form. I understand that this may
reqiure effort. For example, I downloaded plot source, but I failed to install
it in a way that it would run from its source form, the PM's "compile" process
is currently somehow needed for it to run. But I believe that it is a right
thing to do and will simplify things in the long run.
