I think he (or she?) means is something like in ATitD.
1) You set a specific stockpile for a task, say a palace that needs 400 blocks, 20 doors and 10 beds.
2) Haulers can bring stuff there instead of the regular piles and possibly save a trip (drag to pile, drag to site)
3) The construction pile keeps the workers from running off to get a door when there's one there or one on the way.
4) It differs from just building a bar stockpile near the site in that once the order's filled, the haulers stop bringing more. When the work's done the pile is abandoned (possibly automagically decommissioned since there's nothing else to bring or take).
5) Oh yeah, the materials are dedicated so no one's swiping the obsidian stone for your tower of doom to make mugs.
I think I got it all.... damn it I was supposed to be getting ready for class.

With custom tissue layers and raw modding maybe there will be some form of surgical reaction key. Doctors know what to do for a broken leg and the effects, how bad a punctured spleen is. What happens when a spider breaks a leg? Looses a compound eye? Lacerates a wing? We need surgical reactions and morphing...

That's it.
Doctor McMuffin is taken by a fell mood.
Doctor McMuffin kills Ewan McRedshirt.
Doctor McMuffin fashions an exceptional bandage for McGuffin. On it are pictures of goblins and dwarves. The goblins are shooting the dwarves. This refers to the near death of McGuffin when a goblin shot him with a crossbow.
...
McGuffin is healed.
The exceptional bandage is removed, Doctor McMuffin flys into a fit of rage.
Doctor McMuffin kills McGuffin.
McGuffin is buried in a fell casket. On it are pictures of doctors and dwarves. The doctors are killing the dwarves.

What, nobody else in the UK plays DF? That sucks. Here's what you do:
1) Place a keg at the end of a bridge.
2) Tell everyone there's a party.
3) Retract the bridge.
4) Wait for immigrants.

Hmm, you've got gangrene. We have to remove the leg or you'll die. But, while I have many axes, swords, knives, giant serrated disks with spikes of leather, I don't have a bone saw. I'm sorry.
Boot weit. Me brootha can forge you one.
...
Bootha, I have the boon sawh.
's too late, brootha. I am done for.
What?
He has looked himself in the store room. He is making a granite scalpel with pictures of socks!
Boot what oov yoor leg?
For a scalpel that menaces with spikes of mule bone, I would give my leg, for the goot oov the mountain home.
And thee other doctors?
I already have a doctor and this room is in use. No one will come until the doctor is done and has finished with me.
Boot the other patients?
For a scalpel with fine engravings of cheese made from oak, they will wait as long as is necessary. Even, Ewan McRedsheert over there.
With the goblin axe stook in hez hed?
That's the oone.
Darn carp it! Eye needed that iron!
Boot for a scalpel with rings of pure onyx...
Eye, for that I can get ootha iron... Boot Brootha... wat if yoo shood die?
For a scalpel... well actooly, I'll confoose the poor doc. Being unable to treat me e'll joos walk away and leave the room too cluttered to work. The others will, in time die of hoonga while waitin for treatment and yoo, having lost your dear brootha, will succoom to sobriety and go on a rampaj, killing every living thing in grief for yoo loss and actin oot at tha meeninglessness of deth.
Boot it twill be a lovely scalpel.
Aye very tasteful.
Think I'll get to see it before you die and I throw myself in the lava?
Eye doono. I've been bleeding for three weeks already.

Mac, bus, 'nuff said.

Never let anyone kill the child inside you. Even if the child wants BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.

I like that, I should hang it on my wall.

Thanks everyone, it was just what I needed. I'll buy a dwarf today....

As opposed to a dwarf Toady...

Scribbler's playpen floor.... er.... day...
