I vote for replacing it.
Perhaps NOT with Tcl --- I've done a lot of Tcl embedding, and I'm
generally not satisified with it. I would look at guile, but I don't
know it enough.
The one in charge for interpreting formfiles is mhl, right? How about
implementing some mhlproc in our favourite scripting language and makeing
the selection of mhlproc more customizable (i.e. on the command line and
not only from the profile)?
