Sorry, I've used up the time that I can make for mc for the coming months, 
but to make it short, I'd rather side with Andrew.

I'm pretty averse to overloading mcedit with small hardly discoverable 
functions (however useful they are), and bolting on a questionable 
scripting engine on top of that.

There are enough fundamental problems with mc codebase, and my vision for 
it would have been to clean up the core, cover it with tests, and expose 
its API to an external engine, which provides a high level memory managed 
language. Everything beyond core could be pushed into this layer and left 
up to users and distributions...

This was pretty much what mc^2 was a prototype for, but very unfortunately 
we didn't have the capacity to integrate it :-(
