Not suggesting that one should not go back and "finish" code  - but, I'm
sure you agree that one of ST strengths is the prototyping convenience
of the environment. In fact, I wish it was easier and faster to put
ideas together. I'd like to see a system that I can slap things together
quickly to get a better idea of the concept. I particularly don't like
planning ;-)
