Stefan,

this sounds probably great, but I have no idea at all what is happening
here and what you are proposing (and which problem is solved), sorry.
Maybe, others may comment...

Remember that when a oo proposition comes in, I normally need some days
to read Ashoks book to understand them. I understand it by putting
"puts" everywhere and after some days, it comes.

Thank you and sorry,
Harald
