  What I find most cryworthy about all of this is how great ideas constantly
get forgotten.  I mean why doesn't Java have named parameters?  Why do so
few IDE's have a really good file-free browser? Why do so many class libs
get tightly locked to fragile classes in the same way?

  For anyone reading this: what were the five (ten, whatever) best features
of Dylan that are _not_ language related?
