Sound nice, but far from trivial. That kind of widgets would have to be very
flexible to be adopted, and flexible designs are hard to make efficient.
A basic rule: Build functionality into the *design*, not the code. Or; usable
features, rather than lots of features. Kind of the way to design hardware, as
opposed to the way way too much software is designed... Computers are *NOT*
infinitely fast, as high level language folks seem to think. *hehe*
Anyway, I've thought about that kind of stuff before, and I'm probably not
alone, so feel free to describe your ideas on the list - I'm sure you can get
some useful feedback. :-)
