That looks like a better version of what I was thinking about =
originally.  However, various people on the list have convinced me to =
stick with strong references everywhere.  I'm working out a possible API =
right now, once I have some code that I can use to illustrate what I'm =
thinking to everyone, I'll post it to the list.

Thank you for showing me your code though, it is clever!

Thanks,
