It is my understanding that reference to id is faster than name.
However, if i get the long id of something, I can get
field id 1 of group id 2 of group id 3 of card id 4 of stack "theSubStack"
of stack "/some/really/long/filename"
If I take
word 1 to 3 of theLongId && word -6 to -4 of theLongId,
I get
field id 1 of of stack "theSubStack"
Aside from working, it would seem that this would be faster to parse.
Would it?
