Not that this is precisely what you're saying, Paul, but I love it
when Apple people coo and drool about how insightful it was to invent

Thanks for this tip.  I really like bloody Javascript, and I can even
think of it as a language, which gets it off the starting block where
Apple"script" false-starts every time.
