Your goals might be bigger than what I had in mind. I still like the idea 
of a fairly small crumb provision that is easy to learn, use and customize.

My sidebars are often fancier and more hierarchical.

My current project doesn't even have a sidebar.

I'm not saying you couldn't generalize all this and come up with both. But 
getting crumb specific in my approach works for me.
