Yes, that would be ideal. However this was not a solution that came up when I raised the lack of (usable) dictionaries and sets on the Seed mailing list. This was a few months ago though. I should probably point out that my opinion of Seed is largely influenced by trying to rewrite a python extension during the 2.28 development cycle. In the end I decided to give up. I still want the extension so I decided to try using Vala and so far it's been a far better experience. This is quite possibly down to relative maturity of the code. Anyway, I'll repeat that I don't think using Seed is wrong. I just don't think it's ready for writing extensions for Epiphany yet. In the meantime, and possibly for longer, I'd like to be able to write extensions in Vala rather than C. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
