Why would this make Aiola (or any IAL) *good*? You say that Aiolans
shouldn't fret that Aiola does pretty much what the other twenty
thousand IALs do. But it strikes me that the one and only decent
reason for working on a new IAL is if its design is genuinely better
than other IALs (and natlangs for that matter).
