Hi Flowgun, I'm glad that line of script was helpful!

No, the sea turtles would be upset at that because it would violate one of their design
goals of prioritizing MoI to be easy to use and quick to learn.

One element of that is having commands operate in a consistent manner. In MoI
this is applied by this design rule - commands that modify objects select the object to
be modified first and any supplementary stages after that.
