Precisely. It would be useful if a) it looked at least "close" to what 
we are already using, b) didn't make using it overly complicated and c) 
if they just clean up the SDL, to make it have certain features, there 
is no reason why one can't discuss the merits of other languages, so we 
have some idea what feature we *may* in fact want to add to it. If the 
choice happens to be to keep the SDL as is and "not" separate object 
handling or the like from the code level (at least enough so you can 
declare objects separate from the code, instead of burying them 
throughout the code, like they are now).
