Alex – care to elaborate? When I get this question it would be nice to be able to tell people why the core team isn't interested.
Beau – new navigators can easily be provided in external libraries. The core of Specter (navigator composition and inline compilation/caching) is very stable at this point so I don't anticipate it needing much change.
