It's not -- I've certainly complained about it on this list before, and
I did so in response to someone else's complaint. :-)

It's a silly restriction; my guess as to why it's there is because Dave
is just one guy doing everything and he didn't want to be bothered
writing the code to deal with it. To tell the truth, combo mode in
general seems like a bit of a quick hack (not the concept, but the
implementation).

I currently use the Really Annoying method of _writing down_ changes to
programs I make in combo mode, and then later re-applying them by hand
in program mode... !!
