The symcompartment can be given a low priority for the following reasons :

- it gives higher accuracy only for cells with compartments of the
same length (which are unlikely to exist)
- it mixes up the model with how to simulate the model.
- it is easy, for the first transitional versions of moose, to alias
symcompartment to compartment.

The script_out object can easily be emulated by adding PROCESS actions
to a neutral element.  It is better to have this in a script level
library than in C++ code (more easy to maintain, also nice as an
example).  I don't know how easy this is with Moose.

I will reimplement hsolve in a Moose context, based on an extended
hsolve version of Genesis2.2.  Neurospaces will be used as frontend
for matter of ease of use.

Another suggestion : the monotone project -- unrelated to the CNS
world -- discusses things like these on a mailing list and places
reports on a wiki (i.e. http://www.venge.net/monotone/wiki/
an example todo is in
http://www.venge.net/monotone/wiki/ThingsStatusShouldShow).
