The sorcery team has been working on improving on_cast triggers. The
work is mostly complete, and I think its ready for broader testing and
feedback from the development/user-base.

The main improvement was to integrate (on_cast) triggers with dependency
sorting. In the old implementation, an on_cast trigger was effectively a
cast -c after the triggering spell completed. This leads to many spells
being cast multiple times. For example, if zlib casts, it will trigger
a number of casts. During a rebuild, those spells are already going to
be cast.

Andrew, just to make sure I understand the above (could be just me), if I was to
do a rebuild with the above sorting on then zlib, and any other previously required
dependancies, will be cast prior to all those triggered by casting zlib?


Also, some of the ideas below are of interest and I will review and get back to you.

Craig
