and that's what i have been saying but maybe not as clearly as i
could. the interactions between these subsystems is so critical to the
functionality and speed of perl6 that they must designed together. if we
can isolate them (so we can interchange modules) without a major
performance it, that would be a win. i would be willing to sacrifice
some flexibility for speed if there is a noticeable need for that.
