Having watched Modularity develop, *this* is the point at which I'm
skeptical. There's a lot which _sounds_ easy but which turns out to be
difficult once you go into all of the corner cases. If someone has a
solution which *really* does it better, I'm open to experimenting with it,
but I don't think "it's easier" really sticks.

I know there are lot of decisions made which could have been a different
color, but I'm also sympathetic to work done over work theorized. I do
appreciate the time you've put into the write up, but a prototype would
speak louder -- and there are a _lot_ of details that would need to be
implemented in what you describe -- like something implementing the idea of
a "partial version".
