You're brushing up against the early days of MS Access
There is no question the temptation is great to make UR user programmable beyond all the settings and the excellent query tool. This notion of "programmability" is a dilemma that tool makers struggle against. Before too long (say somewhere around UR version 8 or 9) we'd have 3rd parties writing UR applications (hyper-templates) and the guys at Kinook would never see the light of day again.
There's no question we could use a few more features and a little more database-like access to our data, but it's a slippery slope. Be careful what you wish for.
