Yes, Richard23 and Scott Norton had already given me to see the light. And
my apologies to Mark Alldritt for doubting. I'll have a little talk with
Cal, but I suspect he might suggest that Scripter is doing some healthy
"safe scripting" checking here, in addition to syntax checking.
So, this needs to be in the ASLG. Perhaps in a new chapter written in
invisible ink that only experienced scripters and Superman can read, but it
ought to be in there.
