One of the things that I liked about what I suggested was that I could
probably have implemented it today... and nearly started to do so.
Whatever you suggest sounds like its much more powerful, if there's no
need to load the unused parts.  But OTOH, if these things are
separated so strongly, then Jay's complain (distancing `f' from its
tests) might become more of a problem.  Also, I liked the very
convenient way to have multiple entry points, so I hope that that will
be as convenient.
