All right. Phew. Thanks. Let's get some work done instead ;-)

I don't think there is much to worry about - it's an isolation layer around 
objects. Read that memo that I sent out or even better, take the code and 
study it. There isn't really anything intrusive in it. The code is small, 
very small indeed. It's a way to structure a system and reflect about that 
structure, not to poke around in it.

No I didn't. I only noticed after sending it off that it could be 
interpreted in a different way than I meant it to (which was that I really 
*like* the responsibility; standing up and saying "this is my baby" is 
something that I just love to do). Sorry about the stupid formulation.

Trust me, it is. I wrote probably half of that ;-)

That just depends on the interests the rest of youse have. It may not fit at 
all, for example for people who won't use projects it is probably a 
decidedly bad match. Maybe try it some time?

Sure thing - it's only ... wait ... about a ten hours flight from here ;-)
