Thanks for the update, Peter.

One of the items in this week's newsletter was particularly intriguing:

Allow global handlers to be overridden by scripted handlers
https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/4265

...where Monte has this note:

    Previously global handlers took priority
    over handlers scripted in LCS. This patch
    enables a LCS handler the handle the global
    handler instead. This is necessary for
    for overriding the libURL commands on mobile.

Can you or Monte elaborate on that?  Is a "global handler" and engine 
handler?  Does this mean we can now override engine-defined functions?
