So, so true. Without further evidence I'm not going to plead guilty to wrapping a single 4D command. But a 'Relate' method with clearly marked parameters for $many_field_p, $one_field_p helps me avoid remembering the syntax for Query with Whoosit, Selection from Whatsit or something like that. I use this Relate method a lot, cribbing it from Justin some years back. Forget those other commands. Yeah, they may have been faster, a little, back in the day. But years go by and (for a given situation) the speed arguments make less and less sense.
If I do find myself having to write an actual command, entering that opening parenthesis helps a lot. So much so that I find myself going back to that spot if I'm not sure of the order, and re-selecting and re-entering that parenthesis, just so I can see the little status bar at the bottom showing the syntax.
