Given the theme mechanism of XWT, there's no reason we can't. Whoah...

we could recreate a tribute to that excellent feature of MSOffice 4 or
thereabouts, where the macro-language library (VBA-ish) was localized. The
library itself. Oh what fun that was. It took me a month to get even
simple macros going ("What's 'open' in German?! What's 'print'? What is
a 'file'? AAAAARGH!"), and when I came back home, none of them would work,
because they were ran from the text as-is, not from p-code or what-have-you.
