You have a good memory, Duane!  Yes, that's true, but then, as he 
tried to squeeze more into the plugin, he got mightily confused about 
how to create all the things he needed into Slang.  I think it was 
Andreas who pointed out to me that you have to take on a certain 
mindset with Slang -- yes, it RUNS in Squeak, but really, it's C, and 
you can only do the things you can do in C.
