I may have misunderstood its proposed exlusionist ubiquity.  So long as
gnuscript should constitute just one more language with no further special
place in the universe, that's fine.  But if it's The One True GNU
Extension language, I'll be a little unenthused.  I'll probably have to
write a Perl I/F against its C API. :-)/2

Sigh.  Now I know why Richard doesn't respond to news more often then once
per few weeks.  It's too annoying and tiring to try to handle every 
little part of every little counter response that gets flung at you.
