True, obviously. Nevertheless, discovery that an application's exposure of
its abilities thru its scripting API is peculiar or opaque is, regrettably,
a standard part of the exercise of using AppleScript, and discussion of the
scriptability limitations or idiomatic quirks of individual applications has
traditionally been part of discussing AppleScript (and in particular, of
discussing it on this list). This list is not by any means confined to
"AppleScript the Language".
