Oh c'mon.
Next thing you know, you'll be saying "Oh wow - cool!  This radio thing is kinda
neat...   and this internet thing...   !"

No, I've started experimenting with that, along with the other 100 things I have
on my experimental to-do list.

I had the idea that it would be useful to have calculated values for parameters
and equations in cells, so as you wrote a scene, you'd see if there were any
obvious problems before you parsed the scene and rendered it.

Tons of other things get in the way of having the free time to do that.
Looks like any existing free time will be gobbled up soon.
Details to follow in an off-topic thread.
