[TYPO3-dev] The "Object TypoScript library" in the TYPO3 core?

[Ingmar Schlecht]

Hi Benni,

that call is from a no longer supported extension ObjectTyposcript by
Dan Frost.

I think it can be removed from future versions. If in doubt, just drop a
mail to Dan Frost (dan AT 3ev.com).

cheers
Ingmar
