			=More efficient with Lua=
			Spring armor categories are kludgy and messy because they are extremely inefficient. There are a lot of inconsistencies.
			In some cases, only the first category listed will be obeyed. At other times in that same list, all will be obeyed.

			In other words, do not rely on categories too heavily, because you will end up quite frustrated with the results.

			You should look at smoth's armor system code. Evo uses it rather extensively.
