have we not talked about this before? B<streed> is the daemon which
handles atomic updates to the strees so we dont have to worry about data
collisions.

like i said in my email of last night, the language i'm looking for
direction on is the language which the sockets will communicate with
each other via. this is low level stuff here. yes, the high level API
will mimic IAMB::Stree.  my concern right now is the low level, socket
level, commands.

ok. that's what i'm looking for. everyone else feel this way? if you all
do, i can probably get a pre-alpha out in the next day or so. otherwise,
i cannot continue until i have a socket-level command language approved.
