Smart idea - it has been noted. It could simply generate a "load script"
(as you then noted in your own reply).
Nice. And later - when we get to SM 2.0 :-) when I get around
implementing the ability to have "private additions" on your own map you
can simply "publish" that load script to your local map instead of
saving to a file.
