FTM update

• 12:42 I'm adding a command-option, and I want it to have a default value. I haven't implemented defaults in WUIDL yet, so I guess that needs to be done -- which means it's time to get the docs up-to-date.
  • Turns out I did implement a "default" attribute, it's just called valdef (to be parallel with valreq).
    • [later] ...but it's not clear whether the implementation actually works...
• 17:14 Current issue: how to access the Options object from inside the Mover object? How does DBA (which has no Spider) access it?
• 19:04 I was apparently foresightful and set things up so that Mover is constructed with the Options object, and stores it in Mover->OOptions -- so all I have to do in order to access the Options object is to change all my $this->Options() calls to $this->OOptions. Hooda thunk?
