I really like the power of program mounts(even though I am not really
taking advantage of them yet). I would be really interested in seeing
some (pseudo) code from others on this list for some of there more
'creative' program mounts.
How about a bragging rights contest for the user with the most
insane/useful/robust/creative/etc program map. hpa can be the sole
judge and use the (pseudo) code as an example in the source release with
mention of who's it is. This sounds good to me! Although I won't be
making a submission, =).
What do you think?
