ok, i'll move them over to Manips then.

well, i do still believe that a generic approach would be better.

but honestly, i think it is more important to get the Vertex-array stuff
into MAIN than to get my ideas about those arrays accepted by all.

however, i still think that there should be only one object for each
modification, such as [vertex_set] can set vertex, color, ... (btw: ben,
this is most likely what you are looking for)

whether the arrays are all 4-elements floating point or not is something
that should be of no concern to the user.

do we agree on that ?
