If I can ask a provocative question, are people really happy with the
scripting language?  I started to work on writing some scripts last
year and found the language to be very limiting in a number of ways.
The main thing that bothered me was that didn't seem to be possible
to load one script from another, which prevents you from building up
libraries of reusable functions.  Has anyone considered using Tcl or
Python as an alternative scripting language?  If so, I'd love to help
work on this, in my (admittedly limited) free time.
