This sort of comment comes up every now  then and always makes me
laugh, no matter what feature it is referring to.

Rev has enormous flexibility, so we all use it in very different ways.
We all run into things that we want as part of the language, but you
have to consider the return on investment for RunRev. I have been a
member of this list for more years than I care to remember, and the
HyperCard list before that, and this is the FIRST time I have ever
come across anyone wanting syllabic division.
There is no way that RunRev would see this as a worthwhile allocation
of their resources and I for one would be extremely irritated if such
a specialised request got their attention, when there are basic
features that we all would use that still need to be implemented.

So by all means ask for help on the list, but don't assume that
something should be part of the language, just because you have a
sudden need for it.
