Yes, that what we want (well, except for making ones naughty bits itty-bitty
;-).

Indeed, that is what we were trying to accomplish with Claw (other than
portability to non-Windows systems). Which only goes to show while it is a
good goal, it isn't easy to accomplish.

OTOH, it really should be the goal, even if it isn't going to get
accomplished. I can't imagine why anyone would want to make something that
will only work for newbies, or has unpleasant results by default, or
whatever. It's better to set the goals high, so that you at least have a
chance to get near them.
