First off, let me say that I just discovered ContextFree a little while ago, and I'm loving it. Awesome job!
One thing that would be very cool is to have the ability to generate animations based on parameterizations in a source file. For instance, an animation might be the set of frames generated by adjusting a particular rotation value in my cfdg source over a specified range and then drawing the entire output image each time.
Right now, I'm doing this via perl script - doing a replacement on my source file, and invoking the CLI to render out a set of PNG frames that I can then import into AfterEffects. It's a little slow and tedious, and highly space-inefficeint, but it works.
Not sure how much work this would be, but what might actually be even cooler would be to write a ContextFree module that is an AfterEffects plugin, and allow those sorts of things to be parameterized via the AfterEffects interface.
Parameterized Animation Mode / AE Plugin?

Yes! parametrized sequences would be very cool.
I 'd also be happy with an movie-export function for a sequence of random variations. (f.i. AAA - AAZ would give a movie of 26 frames with as much variations of the cfdg)
Even simpler would be to be able to autosave a sequence of images, created by a given range of variations. It would make creating animated gif's or other movies much easier.

Parametrization
Hi there,
i wonder whether a workaround like the above (Preprocessor) is straight enough for the scope of users context free might have, or not: Wouldn't it be simple to add parametrization to all of it?
