Since we can now create scripts like this

use Safari : application "Safari"

use Finder : application "Finder"

use Mail : application "Mail"

use scripting additions

open location "http://www.apple.com"

delay 5

set x to (list disks) as text

display dialog x

activate Mail

which compile and run without explicit targeting, is the “tell” statement effectively redundant now

(aside from the exception of ‘using’ an app without importing it)?
