I've watched this thread from the beginning. For myself, I do see value in
short "standard" constructs. However, I see more value (in the RPG vote) in
the new features which give us functionality currently not supported in RPG.
They were the high priced items. At the end, to fill up to the $100, I added
several $2-4 items that just made the existing code easier.
