RIGHT! And then every application can write its own optimized I/O subroutine library, to "cut out the fat" from the generic I/O solution. And its own customized mathematics subroutine library. And its own customized memory manager. Oh, wait, in a virtual environment, just take the entire memory space and don't bother with any management at all.
