I'm actually coding to this spec (with the full realization that it might end up "trash and burn, start again" in the future, in an attempt to see what MIGHT be *simply* addressable now, and that I'd dearly want later. My suggestion involves only a few lines in the current patch, and certainly could be "erased" if a better idea comes along, but the idea of stackable modules seems VERY core, at this point, *to me*. Somebody used the phrase "The Unix Way" before. The Unix Way is to build small active components and mix and match them to fit the specific needs of the system. If only ONE module is possible without back end fixes from the module... that may be good for commercial module builders but I think it kind of "cripples" the "unix way". <- Gets out checkbook, prepared to buy the 7 modules that fit my fancy and stack them...
