Now we're getting somewhere! :))
I'm still thinking the syntax and such is not quite ideal, but certainly
there are constraints that you need to work within to get it into the Ant1.x
API. This is where I think the API needs refactoring, so that its the API
that supports these concepts directly, and the syntax on top is just icing.
Thanks Nicola... nice stuff.
