Thank you. How come I can't be this eloquent!?

Yes, this is *exactly* the trend, and *exactly* my fear.
Pushed too far in this direction and IDL stops being what
it is the very best at and becomes an also-ran in the
programming language sweepstakes. It would be a shame if
that happened.

Cheers,

David
