I'm not sure what you're saying, but ... yeah.  My point was that they
become significantly more of a pain if you've got to pass them across a
pipe and parse them &c.  Many tla `conveniences' wouldn't be worth
supporting for an external scripting interface, but might be for a
well-embedded scripting language.
