Yeah. Right now I just observe the need for some improvement, and some rough requirements.

they are like frameworks, you need to have a deep understanding of such components to use them efficiently (and what was not planned by said framework designer is usually close to impossible)

jackdaniel
or you need to hack more general abstraction (as you propose) to have a workaround for such components

Now, I could completely override the existing history stuff and just build my own, if there was a way to have a custom command table for the interactor. Being able to specify a command table as an argument to ACCEPT would do that.

my perspective on mcclim is that it already accumulated unbearable number of hacks and its only way to become maintainable is to remove them (not add new); I'm 100% positive that each of these hacks resolved someone's problem at some point of time, but right now we have a spaghetti code due to that

so for instance locally correct temporal stream position change in table-formatting causes accepting-values breakage

jdz: so here is what's going on: when we have typeout and "things are read" we clean it. that means in particular, that we we try to repaint cleaned sequence-output-record which, when there are no children, is 0:0,0:0

that means in particular, that when coordinate swizzling took action, then 0:0,0:0 in mirror coordinates is way *before* current mirror
