[Cuis-dev] Proposal. make Utils setAuthor scriptable

[Nicola Mingotti]

Hi Gerald,

Oh, cool, I did not know about 'classPool' , that goes into my notes ;)
Thank you !

I noticed your Cy-d-Fect, by heart, that is the AlissaHacker and 
LouisReasoner brother ;)
One of the greatest technical book I red, about 20y ago.

Can you give me a very short description of what Haver does ?
I see it is related to modules, as used in Python . I see it is an 
extension to Cuis, not a fork.
What problem does it solve ? [ feel free to compare to Python, i am 
familiar with it]
I can't dive into it right now, but just to know what can be done ;)


bye
Nicola
