As such, I don't see much OD> point to kludging this instead of just going for it assuming a 32bit world. Then belay my 16-bit ramblings. I'm probably a bit naive in thinking a new attribute would be passed along by enough transits to be useful; an "adopt this incompatible protocol or become an island" approach may well be needed. I still have to wonder if some leaf optimizations are possible. Perhaps an incompatible protocol would leave more implementation wiggle room.
