If nobody can think of a problem with this approach, I'll go write a couple of these (emacs, apache comes to mind). :) * The main problem is that I felt basically finished with the first * iteration, and ready to pounce on the thing, and I had no way to put it * into the system, since (for some excellent reasons) you're the * architectural arbiter in these things. Again, my deepest apologies.... * Hey, isn't it about the time of year to suggest we cut down inode usage? * (: Yes, I haven't had time to get back to that one. I'll get to that soon....
