The end result unfortunately is that it makes it quite inefficient to edit the types on the fly as a project evolves...the way most of them really do.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-24705685554703671342018-09-06T04:06:33.432-07:002018-09-06T04:06:33.432-07:00I tend to start a 2nd session while I'm workin...I tend to start a 2nd session while I'm working on the 1st, and keep tumbling to the next and starting another to move to next.Matt Taylornoreply@blogger.com
