[Rwp] My! Lord! am I impressed!

Hi Scott.
No, I cannot claim any credit for the wrapper they have written. I don't actually know how it came about. It looks to me like it was a part-time project because it was suddenly abandoned and not really well-supported. All the comments from Reaper developers we see on the Reaper forum about the lack of documentation for accessibility on Mac OS seems to be confirming my suspicions. I am highly speculating though.
I found out about the wrapper from one of the conversations I had with Justin from Cockos. I then looked through the code and found what Jamie already confirmed to be true.

It is too bad I could never establish a reliable connection with any of the developers. They would engage and then disappear off the radar.
