Hi Matt,

I'll quote Wayne Landsman (from a thread I linked to above):

"IDL is often used for quick and dirty analyses, and for these cases a function or variable that is easy to type has its virtues."

though this may be less of an issue with command completion in the Workbench and IDLWAVE.

One of our developers has adapted the concept of a package for IDL, and it's backward compatible. It's still in the skunkworks, but I want to let people know that we're thinking about this.
