i see your point ... on the other hand it's not consistent to provide
several data structures (floats, symbols, lists ...) and only some of
these data structures are being supported by change...
imo, a _change_ for different data structures (that might be used to
control the environment...) shouldn't differ from a _change_ for floats.
especially if one _change_ is an internal, the other _change_ an
external...

don't understand me wrong. i don't want to add a new command to the core
language, i just think that it would be more consistent, if a command
that would make sense for every data type only works for one...

cheers...

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn,
burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across
the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and
everybody goes "Awww!"
