That's a nice word.  Perhaps there were times we referred to it as such.
It sounds familiar but I searched around for "Blueprints Provider" and
turned up nothing of consequence.  If we ever used that I'm not sure where
we were doing it.  That being said "Implementers" (and variations) seemed
to show up more often on gremlin-users in the right context.  Nothing
scientific in my approach of course...
