I've decided to work on a modified clone script so that I can try things without disrupting Game Courier. So far, the changes I made caused the first move in a game of Gross Chess to be recognized as illegal, though I haven't figured out what is going on. What I want to do is drop block scoping, which has hardly been used, and maybe add include files to lexical scoping. I figured that the main place it would be helpful to be able to use local variables outside of subroutines is in the main body of an include file. This could be helpful given that an include file and a preset may be by different authors. But this might have problems of its own, and it might not be that necessary. Including include files early and inserting changes after the file is included, as I already do, may be sufficient.
