Do you agree that that's an orthogonal use-case (add file to target) to what 
is being proposed (help me debug my cmake files)?

If you agree that the declarative spec is orthogonal, then do you still have 
some other objection 'in principle' to the daemon approach?

If we reach a point where the memory consumption issue is the only blocker I 
can try to trap Milian in a room one of these days to help fix it.

Thanks,
