Why not keep previous meta-commands where they're at, but also introduce a
new line-type exclusively for meta-commands? I'm not too keen on MLCad's
WRITE, to me it makes little to no sense. Maybe if it was COMMENT or even !
(like an HTML comment) instead I'd buy it. I guess that's just quirky 'ol
(or young) me, though ;-)
