Well, the long email I wrote just now was aguing exactly the opposite.
It is similar in that it tends to do the same thing, but with a cleaner
api and such. pippin and I have been talking in IRC which is why his
api is rather similar to what I am suggesting we do (there there are
important differents).

Yes, but you can do better than that. Well, for one thing, you can make

As outlined just now (in my previous email), I totally agree.
