Not only does this make the script's options much more accessible, it serves as a useful form of documentation as well, ie, what all can IMDb Weaver do. It also makes it easy for people to mix IMDb Weaver with other popular scripts. So, for example, it you like how Henrik's script enlarges headshots, you can just turn off the "Headshot Magnifier".
