I'm guessing that a lot of that reaction was coming out of some of the
stuff Niklaus was saying. I really did think he was meaning sending
actual data through some kind of pipe, rather than function calls.
Also, some of the suggestions about having native code and MUD-code
be plug-and-play interchangeable can get messy.

Perhaps I'm just being a bit pessimistic - many projects that are
"designed by committee" end up being more complex than they ought to be.
