I don't think that it's a fair assumption that, for example, I haven't followed the metamodel discussions and designs. Nor do I think it's a fair assumption that people who want to interoperate with a lot of Perl 5 code should have to understand the finer points of metamodels and metaobject protocols in the default case. -- c
