Thank you.

I once tried to hack in GUILE support as extension language.  But it was crap
when it came to blocking read as in `colon' e.g. It was quite cool on the
other hand to have conditionals for example in your .screenrc.

The best way to go would be to have one properly defined interface to extend
screen with modules.  This way, you could add whatever interpreter you like,
add whatever feature you like.  Screen itself should just provide powerful
primitives.

Since I am using screen as primary window manager on some boxes, my view on it
might be different from people that just use it in a terminal within their X11
session or on a remote box to keep irssi running.
