like
to be able to use:
repeat for each line L in someText with index i
apply myFunction to X until the value converges
apply (+1) to every item of myList where it mod 2 = 1
...and many, many more.
No - widgets is not what it has turned into. Widgets are entirely
orthogonal - they about extending the controls you can use in LiveCode,
not the syntax (after all having lots of nice syntax is great, but if
you don't have the things you can instruct to do things with it, then it
perhaps isn't very useful).
