It is not.  I took a look at your code, and it will fit
the bill for something i am doing at home, but it will
not help too much for this project.  Besides the problem
with changing implementations after testing, there would
also be a major conflict with our telemetry system, and
our execution has to be fast, so runtime checking isn't
practical even during testing.

Thanks though.  I think this will be just what i need
for a project i am working on at home!
