When inserting or deleting a field in the database
structure, it would be interesting to have calculated
fields automatically updated with new field numbers.
(IE: for instance, if you insert a field before
field10 and you have a calculated field referring to
field17, it should be automatically updated to
field18).

    i'm not sure that it's very interesting. That asks a lot of
    time to rebuild, and the implementation seems very
    complicated and asks a lot of memory. But i let Scott to see
    that.

    Marc is right. Implementing this would be a significant
    change. At the very least it would make rebuilding the
    database much slower. At worst it might require a new
    format for storing scripts. I will think about this some
    more before I make a decision about the next release...
