I think the real problem is that IDL is nearly 28 years
old. Probably older than you! AND it is backwards
compatible. There aren't too many of us who wouldn't
have made better choices 28 years ago if we knew
then what we know now. :-(

Sure it's convoluted to do things that ought to be
easy. But, as I seem to keep telling my youngest,
choices you make today will effect what it is
possible to do in the future. Some of us are
not as farsighted as others, unfortunately.

Cheers,

David
