Merely listing all the features of LetEmFly2, preceded by `MUST' is a very
poor and un-thought-out standard.
The above requirement is VERY expensive to implement when dialogs are in
windows.
In my opinion, the whole idea of LetEmFly2 is useless unless it can be
easily used for non-modal dialogs. We sure be using LESS modal dialog
boxes, not more.
