Ok. We've gone down this road before. I usually bring up the point about 64bit 2ghz processors right about now and you can't get past adding any overhead to the product :-)

Actually, you did. Based on your arguements, you're stilling think about how the enhancements would immediatly benefit your work. I'm thinking about how it would round the product out, make it more consitant and elegant, which would make it easier to learn (and teach) attracting more and more new users.
