The same concept might be done with Nick's ideas - but I'm leaving these tasks as exercises for the student. :-) Not being familiar enough with the BC's, allow me to ask: Is there some way of getting from Ted's List package spec to a body implemented as some kind of BC instantiation plus glue logic? A sort of "Thick Binding" to the BC's? Would it hurt too much to even attempt to get there? Could the same be done with any of the other potential players? I find this an intriguing possibility since it would allow for a fairly sophisticated component library underneath, utilize existing code for maximum leverage, *and* give the newbie/student/casual-user/simple-case-implementor something not too painful to use.
