OK, that makes sense. Incidentally, I really like the notion of "glue"
that you guys have been developing. I think it ties in very nicely
with the idea of "first class connectors" that the software
architecture people are talking about, and of course Alan's "Ma".
A lot of the stuff that's part of my "abstraction engine" work can also
be characterized very nicely as glue.
