LIST-VIEW 0.0.38 is out + ramblings

This one contains some updates to UPDATE, which
should help you to make LIST-VIEW update faster when
doing complex operations. This really speeds certain
things up, and by example, building all the images
for the documentation is about twice as fast now.
The more I work with LIST-VIEW, the more I can tell how much there really is left before I'm satisfied and can call it the big 1.0. Plenty of bugs have been fixed, but there is still a long way to go. Currently I think LIST-VIEW is about 55% done. That's right. 55%,
I don't know how much longer it'll take to work the remaining issues out, but I expect development to carry on at varying intensity for the next 4-6 months. It's not really that I want to include the kitchen sink with LIST-VIEW, because there are some things I don't think it'll ever be able to do, such as making it work completely like a spreadsheet.
LIST-VIEW is first and foremost row-oriented: You can add, remove and change rows. You can select, move and sort rows. There are a few cell oriented operations, but they aren't flexible enough for use in a spreadsheet or at least in a data cell view that treats s and columns equally.
ROW-ACTION works great and immensely increases the flexibility of LIST-VIEW from this:

I hope you will take advantage of it!
