I recognize that this question might have no true, objective answer. But heck if that'll stop me from asking. : )
~~~
Basically the title: What is the difference between a Snippet, a Spell, and a System? Is there a strict, definable line which delineates these things from each other? If not, why not? Of all fields, coding/computer programming seems like the one to have clearly stated & objective definitions for classifying things; is it a matter of "lines of code" or how many dependencies a thing has? Is it rather a more subjective look at the overall 'length & complexity' of a piece of code?
Thoughts & debate are much appreciated.
