In hindsight, many good ideas are obvious. Besides, my sentence above was rather a way of expressing my joy that someone (you) is actually doing it. > I did not mention any features, actually. :-) > > (define features-of-dmd [dependencies, conflicts, respawning] [command line tool] [Guile] [save state] Very cool.
