I'll beat this dead horse.... I wish AS had this construct:
temporarily set ASTID to {":"}
-- blah
end temporarily set
I guess I do that "spring loaded global variables" thing a little too
much. (Then again, globals sometimes beat out doing it the "right
way".)
This would also be useful:
open file "blah"
-- blah
end open file
Give systemwide resources scope within the language.
And, it would be nice if there were some kind of simple semaphore,
and scripts could run copies of themselves:
property foo : unlocked
lock "foo" of me with expiration 10 seconds
-- blah
end lock
wait until "foo" is unlocked
wait until application "blah" is running
--
