Had the AppleScript team not been decimated to stock the AOCE* team so they
could make AOCE into the amazing success story it wasn't, AppleScript would
likely have been cleansed of a bunch of this stuff in the early days when
there wasn't enough legacy code around to matter.
*AOCE: Apple Open Collaboration Environment...spawner of the heaviest
volume in the Inside Mac series, and that was only ONE of the AOCE
volumes...it is also known as the Cornerstone volume, and widely used in
construction still.
Sigh. At least, AOCE gave us the keychain. (Remarkably little else has
survived.)
