Oops.  Sorry.  I have been concentrating on other tasks.  I will
read that with more care.

I think that we are agreed that there are dozens of viable solutions,
and arguments in favour of most of them.  I see the biggest danger
being a "committee compromise" on the basic model - it don't matter
for most of the API, but the model must be consistent.
