Well no, but being able to use blackbox-like styles as 'solid color' options would be handy.
Also, resizing things isn't as hard as it could first seem, if you set it all up in scripts and config files the same, and use as few constants as possible in them. I'm currently working with this, and it really cuts down on the work, though it does add a wee bit to !recycle time (OTOH, it's cutting down the need to recycle, as well).
The few things that would make it all easier would be arrays and math with mzScript vars.
It can technically be done w/ !ParseEvars, but it's still clunky and takes as much time as just doing all the !varMul and !varAdd lines (though is a necessity for dividing, !ParseEvars !varSet abc %#1/%{var}%#).

*script exec !varExpr "%{mzvarLeft}+(%{mzVarRight}*$evarA$)"
