 * I never thought of this.  This would probably work great.

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....
