Sure. I'm just trying to explain my design goals and philosophy - 
not to argue that no other approach could be valid.

But, I would appreciate it if comments distinguished between:

1) My goals and philosophy differ from yours, versus
2) My implementation is bad.

I think a lot of the high-level criticism you brought is really 
rooted in (1), even though you present it as (2).
