Indeed, I agree completely.  I was getting a little too "meta" I think
there, and mostly failing with the analogy.

By exposing the magic, I more or less meant how when you expose how a
trick is done, it ceases to be magic.  I like Zach's original plan,
and will look to try employ a similar method (it's basically how
simple_bridge works as well).

It will *absolutely* simplify the implementation and understanding of boss_db.
