Cool. I am looking forward to follow it's development. You might consider pasting some 
of your first reply into the projects README file, it would make the whole undertaking 
(which seems interesting) intelligible to outsiders (such as me).

Ok, here is the pinnacle of the whole thing - I didn't notice that your 
framework isn't linked from the main listing. A co-worker sent me a link, and I
never thought to check where he had found it. Aren't assumptions just the road
to hell. I apologise.

And no, I certainly am not planning to use Meta:: as a namespace myself, so I have no 
problems with it for now. Of course somebody might complain once it get's 'released', 
but lets take the problems as they come (unlike what I did in the previous mail).

ps. Actually I am quite intersted in projects such as this, using databases to drive 
applications. I have been playing with a pet project for a while, indexing emails in a 
PostgreSQL database. I'll have a look at your code and try and give you some kind of 
comments on it if I have the time (maybe as unqualified as 'cool' or 'yuck', but 
hopefully more).
