Sure, I can understand the motivation, but sometimes I think the code
gets too "artificial" to warrant the effort. I think that's primarily
because I don't recognize the idioms, patterns and practices the way I
do in the OO world.

I'm going to give up on the URI feature. It's evident that we are
thinking in diametrically different directions, and I have no way of
expressing myself in these terms.

I did learn some interesting techniques along the way, though, thanks
for the help.
