Can we table this for a bit?

I'm in the middle of an implementation that *may* actually solve this 
problem in a somewhat graceful fashion that makes both of us happy.  
I'm not sure and it'll take more time for me to figure out how to 
explain it than to do some more research programming to determine if 
it'll work.

That, and I'm tired of tossing a bunch of words out there without 
backing it with useful examples/code.... and I'm tired of having time 
sucked from forward progress for the sake of a [very interesting] 
argument.   I'm sure that there are a lot of others on this list-- 
yourself at the head of the list-- in the same boat.

BTW:  I do have Python->ObjC working nicely -- Python strings pop into 
ObjC world without copying data.
