How will that fit with Lars' goal of having the kernel be the library
and the frontend be the real program?
I cannot speak for Lars but I think that would be an even longer term
goal than what I propose. You're talking about inverting the logic or
more exactly to extract the part that do the communication with the
frontend from the kernel. That would be a great thing to do indeed. As a
matter of fact, I think that my cleanup work would help to achieve that
goal because it will reduce significantly the interface between the
kernel and the frontend.
