I have to admit that I don't like putting in stubs. In the past we have
decided to just leave things really unimplemented if we don't support
it. And as you say it needs a bit more design thinking. So I would
suggest you do this on a branch first (grmbl CVS...) and/or first try to
spec it out against a jato VM implementation.

BTW. John Rose has lots of background material online:
