Nice to hear that! :-) I also love active case marking, but it makes
it so complicated to get things consistent.
E.g. one example I came up last week-end: in the sentence:
`The sun is shining.'
Is the sun in control? What about
`The moon is shining.'
??
To be (overly?) correct, I decided that the sun is agent, but the moon
is patient. :-)
