That's true in my case.

Earlier this week I did make a first attempt to understand how SVs work.

In the short term I'll need to construct a workflow that lets me do more
than trivial experiments with SVs. I rely on Elias' gnu-apl-mode for APL
input. To work with SVs I'll need to patch gnu-apl-mode to provide for
additional command-line options (so I can pass --SV --id # to GNU APL).
Or something... It seems inelegant to have to customize each running
instance of Emacs to set up an id.

At this point, I don't have any definite plans for SVs beyond
experimentation to help me understand the strengths and weaknesses of
the approach.
