They're already in 1.6, and they do work in Mac OS X. You can't see them in
Script Editor's dictionary display because of how it handles the data internally,
but I'm told you can in other editors. I'd love to get rid of the "At Ease" bit,
but there are some odd conflicts with terminology in other parts of AppleScript,
so it has to stay for a while.
An additional tip about "path to": you don't need to wait for us to add an
explicit enumeration, since it can also take any four-character string that's a
FindFolder selector. Get your hands on a copy of Folders.h (part of the Master
Interfaces) and go nuts.
