Well for reasons I may not be aware of, all the new commands seem to be in
the format, "revDoSomething" followed by parameters. Example:
revAddXMLNode treeID, parentPath, nodeName, nodeContents
the official example:
revAddXMLNode 9,"/","Balls",""
Why couldn't you say something like
add node "Balls" to the root path of XML tree id 9
I'm not saying that is the exact perfect syntax, nor is it "compact," but it
would be super readable/self-documenting and easy to remember. This is what
I mean about advancing TransScript.
