Erm, it doesn't work like that for everybody.
I can fiddle with the *description*, and that will spawn some structural
changes, but they never apply to things already there; they stay as
obsolete or exceptions.
If I took the language apart completely to overhaul it, it would be
*destroyed*, dead. Building it again won't make it come alive again.
It's an organically grown thing, not a construct.
That's just a matter of how my brain works; I accept that it works the
other way for other people.
