I did not suggest any such thing --- the current scope of functionality
is fine by me for a first cut. What I *am* saying is that we had better
have some idea of how we are going to extend it when (not if) we try
to extend it. Otherwise we are likely to find we painted ourselves
into a corner.

That's another patch that has an *excellent* chance of getting rejected
on pretty much the same grounds.
