Which my first reaction is to think that this is a problem of aspect orientation- supporting specialized, coherent views of a system from differing perspectives ( ie, system programmer and end-use programmer ) without cluttering either view with extraneous matter from the others.
Something to keep in mind as we go, I guess.
