Neat. Adobe apps are probably more the exception than the rule - the
majority of scripting apps don't have nearly such extensive
scripting support. Like I say, there's no technical reason it can't
be done; it's just that 99% of applications never bother.
And sometimes they do well. Implementing sophisticated AppleScript
handling has some limits. Like Gödel could say, you can forge
AppleScript propositions that are undecidable: the fact that they
aren't true does not imply that their contrary is false. An obvious
example is:
every window whose first paragraph begins with "Quomodo is a cool
site, you should use it"
If a window is empty, then it won't be returned by the statement
above, but neither by:
every window whose first paragraph does not begin with "Quomodo is a
cool site, you should use it"
This kind of limit, that you have to face when you implement
AppleScript in a program, can make it an impossible challenge to
implement more than a basic object model.
