Much of what I'm doing with the library these days involves improving
"deep design issues." Unfortunately, this work is a bit slow-going.

I'm fairly sure that this *is* fixable in the current PROTO
implementation framework, but I'd prefer to address it after this task
is complete:

http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=25969&group_id=7151&group_project_id=2579

As you can see, this is a high-priority item; the only thing ahead of it
in my queue is conversion to use of the std::string type.

As far as a time frame for completing this work... I'll say,
optimistically, by the end of August.
