maybe we need to get mike D to start a CF-Argument list, eh?  j/k

I've looked at the docs for PLUM, haven't had the time to do the beta
thing though.  I actually ust pitched it to my boss and team yesterday
during a short chat about using code gen tools.  It seems to me that
PLUM is basically a code gen tool.  Kind of like the Interactonline
DWMX extensions, but abit more expansive.  In order to use a codegen
tool, you need a UI, hence an 'IDE'; maybe in this sense the term IDE
is used kind of loosely.  In order to build a code gen tool , you need
to use some sort of framework to abstract the process so to speak.

Is this far off Adam?
