texte = Well, we're always open to new ideas for generally useful extensions to the language. One thing we try to balance is the tradeoff of adding items of general utility or that have efficiency gains by being internal to the WebDNA engine versus the performance cost of increasing the number of unique tags that have to be parsed.
