Yep. BTW, this is exactly the set of arguments that are used in making the distinction between integrated and modular systems. We are integrated now because we are optimizing for finishing our work on the DLR (and the first set of languages) sooner. We will become modular in the future because it lets folks build on top of us more easily.
