Well, I had a feeling that wasn't going to cut it... Too bad...

None at all, save the necessity to keep tab on a local cache, and code some 
clean up routines ; it was just a matter of avoiding an uncessary step, and 
keeping user code tight and powerful. Plus it would have been possible to 
nicely 'tag' contents with stock icons and such, for instance.

I understand it's just about eye candy, but bringing immediate eye candy to 
the casual programmer is half the fun of Gambas, the other half being the 
great harnessing of very powerful functionnalities. But I don't underestimate 
the complexity of your job bringing all those features to us, it was just a 
thought it might be possible without a lot of work. I'd really love to be 
able to help in actual coding, but I'm far from being skilled enough.
