You know, all this verbal fencing is very amusing, but you
hedged your previous reply with something like "works fine
on the interpreter I'm using"--which is potentially very
different from what the Glulx *specification* calls for,
which is what the other poster was explicitly commenting on.

So is he wrong about the spec, or are you just saying
you are happy to use something whose support is very
terp-dependent? (And I know the latter is already true
based on your successful use of color in z-machine games...)
