Sure, no big deal. Also, don't forget the trival matter of moving from a
class-based object system to a prototype based one. (Since right now
objects don't *have* parent objects (just parent classes), or child
anythings) While making things still look like they're a class-based
system for all the code and programmers who're used to that.
No problems there, I'm sure. Patches, of course, are welcome.
