I'm really sorry. Normally I wouldn't have brought it up without
searching the archive - I did so in the context of "this is a question
the people we hope to attract might ask".
Please be patient with the new people we want to attract, they will not
hunt down the mailing list archives for every idea they have. This is
why putting things on the Wiki like Scott has started is a better
approach. You can tell people "was discussed before and URL-HERE is the
outcome".

The license rules it out anyway (unless we ikvmc'ed Harmony, yet another
can of worms) so this question is moot. But still, out of curiosity: is
there any technical reason that turned it into a bad idea? The
discussion from the other thread seemed to indicate that performance was
not an issue.
Thanks
