Yes, for totally.

This is already there, but poorly publicized.  This is one of the things 
we hope to improve in this summer big round of ChucKian (anti)progress. 
Also, we hope to move from CVS to SVN at some point.  In the meantime:

We very hear you, and completely agree.  This is a priority and we hope

hopefully build it together.

Thanks all!

Best,
Ge!
