I agree; I think that the feedback given so far covers most of the important 
perspectives, and I think we should not fool ourselves into thinking every one 
of them can be accommodated immediately. A library that addresses some of them 
designed to allow further work to address additional applications would be a 
huge step from where we are today, so I suggest that we (Erik :-) ) pick a set 
of objectives manageable for his thesis timeline, and submit a preliminary 
proposal.
