Hi Dan,

after the very cool ObjTS, this is another 
I-wonder-if-that-was-ever-intended-to-be-possible-with-TS thing ;)

To your approach, I see (and I'm only starting to think about it) some 
issues:

1. Is the TS syntax good enough for the task (after all the years I am 
still not sure whether I like it)? It it too verbose to put through the 
net, does it have the syntactical and functional features to make 
scripting flexible and concise?
The above outline looks a lot heavier than: cp_record(src,target,tt_content)

2. Are there tested and trusted alternatives? Vimscript and Lisp are 
unlikely candidates, but there may be some. And it's better to check for 
them now than later.

Greetings,
Michael
