Why yes, yes I do. On the other hand, when we hand people bazookas to 
deal with their fly problems, we often find they start in on the 
elephant problems as well.

The proposal in general interests me--it looks like a general 
annotation system we can attach to the bytecode. (I admit, I haven't 
read the page you pointed at) I will admit, though, that I was 
thinking more about metadata that the engine could use itself, or 
would provide to programs running on it, but the scheme you've 
outlined may be useful for that.

'Swhat I get for asking a too-general question. :)
