Natanael, I like the idea of registering subverbs (to coin a new (and confusing) phrase) against a set of overlord verbs which semantically go together. I envision this as having different "buckets" to register against... one for search engines, one for "things you can add things to", one for "things you switch on and off" etc. For example, perhaps we could register a "light switch" against "things you switch on and off". You do this once and then you can use "turn off light switch" and "turn on light switch". This would help with internationalization down the line, as well, in case we needed to have different overlord verbs with different argument structures for different different languages, but using the same "buckets". (There must be a better word for this than "buckets"...) mitcho > On 30 Maj, 02:35, Jono <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi everybody, >> In order to work with the new Overlord Verbs paradigm, >> (seehttp://jonoscript.wordpress.com/2009/01/24/overlord-verbs-a-proposal/ >> ) it is going to be neccessary to rename some of the built-in >> commands.
