I agree. Annoyance with existing limitations is what drove me to write
this "unplanned" set of features. I guess I will now have to shelve my
grand plans for the help system until next weekend....

(version "0.37 Devel")
^^^^^
It's not even an alpha version yet.
Actually, I did take care of the problems with beaches appearing at the
borders between lakes and glaciers, and freshwater lakes being next to
salt marshes, before checking it in, so give me some credit.... :-)
But, thanks for pointing out the salt marshes in forest issue; I hadn't
considered the absurdity of the situation until you mentioned it.
I think I'll just hack on Wreckreation today, and maybe get it up to
alpha "quality". The help system improvements can wait.
