Naturally. Of course I'd also like to think I put some original thought
into the idea :)

One issue with open-scripting is that the scripting language must enforce
enough coding style that poor scripters can understand the work of good
scripters. Even better would be for the langauge to enforce a reasonable
level of configurability so that adapting a script is easy as well.
