I agree here 100%.

I hadn't thought of JD's problem with overloading the '.' operator
before. That seems like it could cause problems with idlwave and maybe
the workbench?

But really, a decent converter tool is what needs to be provided to
allow everyone to feel comfortable upgrading. (Although, I note that
the lasp people say they'll run on multiple IDL version and that may
cause problems.) Of course the tool could have a "backwards
compatability" where it just adds the ;%compile_opt idl1 and a "break
everything from before" where it changes the () to [] and replaces your
-> with dots.

Just another opinion.
