Ludovic -- cool!  What about the issue with the cursors operations'
full names -- does one really have to enact `use' clauses to
abbreviate them?

For an object of a tagged type, like Ngram_Counts, I only need to
declare it with the long name of its package type, then employ prefix
notation on the object itself.  Since cursors don't resond to prefix,
I'd have to refer to things like Next(Cursor) for them either with
full names like WC.Next or do `use'.  Can we iterate through all
elements in a collection with solely prefix notation?

Cheers,
Alexy
