1) I can deal with that.
2) Do you really think that the language is too complicated? I would have
to disagree. It is more complex, but it is not entirely unlike csh. Some
of the features are a little esoteric, but you can ignore them and not
be unable to deal. If there is going to be a translator, it will definitely
be external. zwgc should be as small as we can make it.
I do think that the default file needs to be rewritten. Mark wrote it, and
I didn't bother to complain much, knowing it was one of the easier things
to change.
Also remember how .zwgc.desc files will tend to be used. A few people
will write theirs from scratch, some people will take these and
modify them, and many (dare I say most?) people, who don't even know what a
description file is, won't even notice the changeover.
