sure, I understand. what I mostly want to emphasize is that "hidden 
functionalities" may be revealed in external packages, giving another 
insight at the usage of a given morphic implementation detail.

this may help deciding weither it can easily be changed, removed or 
moved elsewhere.

now of course what is most important is that your eventual solution is 
simple, powerful, beautiful and coherent :)

(IMHO the current Morphic is neither simple nor too beautiful but it is 
powerful and coherent)

... I wish you to succeed in this demanding effort.
