We're trying to improve on the current situation, which forces the user 
to manually define a lot of small functions. If you have convincing 
reasons to argue that the current state of affairs is actually better, 
I'm all ears - both Walter and I could use less work, particularly if 
the outcome sucks (see e.g. T[new]). Also, if you have ideas on how 
things could be done in a way that you'd find not sloppy and not silly, 
that would be even better.
