Very good, svdl. I've been getting 'hints' from users of my COFFEE plugin to allow it to drop multiple objects individually onto other objects. One of these days - I have more pressing matters first to address. One thing that I note about Poser (over C4D, for instance) is that they don't seem to convert popular plugins into integrated features. Please feel free to provide examples if I'm mistaken here. Wardrobe Wizard is one that stands out as a strong candidate. Something like your "Drop to something" script should be integrated. Maxon has consistently pooled new features from indispensable plugins - Mesh Surgery being a prime example. This lack of pooling new features from successful plugins and the undo issue (which, as I've mentioned previously, has been deemed impossible by the developers without complete rewrite of Poser) speaks about the problems that will continue to plague Poser if they do not, even incrementally, start addressing the archaic code base and modernizing it. One thing that has changed my entire development process (to great advantage, by the way) is the concept of atomism of the holistic goal. Every step of development should be done individually and with consideration, but towards the set goals of the software's functionality, user interface, and feature set. Curious Labs/e-Frontier say that certains things cannot be done. Assuredly they can. Just don't try to do them all at once. Achieve small steps towards the goal over reasonable time periods and the end results will be transformed. Just a little developer philosophy there. Back to regular digressions...

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
