Ok, if I get a chance I may. :) The "that make sense" made me wonder if
that meant a big part of the API wouldn't be included, so I just wanted to
make sure. :)
I haven't had a chance to check out your work yet, but I think it's great
that you're doing it. Type classes in Haskell (the closest thing I have
experience with that is like Squeak's traits :) are awesome, and I have
hopes that Squeak traits can be shown to be just as useful/powerful at
filling a big gap.
