By Economical, do you mean a command for every variation? The problem 
with that is that the more definitions that are in the message path, 
the slower Rev gets. If Rev made up a specific function for 
everything, Rev might not perform as well, not to mention the 
cross-platform sync, documentation and bug issues.

I quite like it that Rev gives us the 'primitives' sometimes with 
these things where we might want to 'roll our own' and quite frankly, 
I look forward to writing efficient functions and handlers to do what 
I need with the data.

Once you get comfortable with Rev, you'll make up your own libraries 
for what you need to do that stock Rev can't.
