Speaking of that, this reminds me of the mid '90s and Macromedia Director.
When JT was upgrading the scripting language, he made "set" before a variable optional when assigning a value.
It would be SOOO nice, now that we have passed the mid '90s, if AppleScript would actually be able to handle something that commonplace and if we could replace the "to" in an assignment with =.
These little things seem so nice, I'm shocked that they haven't been allowed into the language by now.
