[cells-devel] Celtic enhanced and ... Cells III?

[Kenny Tilton]

Celtic is coming along nicely. I actually forget where it was before, 
but I am pretty sure the scale, spinbox, and panedwindows are all new 
widgets. Not much left. Toplevels, yes, and maybe menus could be made 
friendlier. Of interest for aesthetic reasons is that the internals got 
a massive clean-up that makes me feel a lot better-- there was some 
weirdness in there.

As for Cells III, panedwindows were the first thing that did not play 
well with Cells. They insist that the widgets which will occupy a pane 
be fully assembled before being added to the panedwindow. Turns out 
Cells II made it impossible to place the "add" code anyplace guaranteed 
to run after all initialization, because it defers things. The good news 
is that I simply added a new category of operation (finalize) to the 
four I already had (user-notify, output, setf, and makunbound) and it 
Just Worked. Which I usually take as a Good Sign, but it still makes me 
nervous to think I have made "after" into something tricky. :)
