Hello
I admit the trailing colon to be an issue, I consequently never returns something with a trailing colon or slash.
There are great things about copying snippets or clippings as well. by snippet in this context I mean a single handler in a file, -I do it all the time, especially when there is something that shall ship. -I believe in self contained units of functionality.
Nowadays, I cut and paste code out of my libraries, -having only one place to go, and that is relieving.
The library loaders should also provide a "flattening" thing like script debugger. So the stuff will work even after the next version of some library.
