No, you were being a pain in the ass.

But as Dennis noted, it's not acceptable to use a list members name in the context I did, and I apologize sincerely for that.


I'm, obviously, not above teasing you for being so fond of Tcl, or teasing certain other unnamed list members for being equally fond of Python, but it is 100% good-natured teasing on my part, meant only in jest.

Once a year ok. Otherwise it gets to be like a pesky mosquito and my tendency is to kill it. Some folks might take your server down instead.



And I might mention that I've suggested elsewhere that both CoreFoundation and Tcl developers take a serious look at the descriptorType field of an AEDesc (and what follows from its implemtation). For OS X the benefits of that in CoreFoundation for Carbon, Cocoa (toll free bridging), and AppleEvents, and all related technologies would be huge.

OK, now you've lost me. If you could expound upon this idea further, possibly offlist, or point me at a previous exposition on the topic, I'd appreciate it.

I'll have something for you and the other list members who made the same request off-list sometime tomorrow. I have to retrieve the message from a few months ago and then review/augment it for this purpose.
