A level-0 question: is this a needed ARC case at all? I don't quite see where there's system architecture here. Given that what ::whatis reveals and the arguments it takes are all essentially system implementation details, it seems unlikely to me that anyone could (or _should_) write any separate program that depends on these. It's just a debug feature ... right? In fact, the most architecturally significant feature I see here is the plug-in interface for 'sources,' and that's reasonably Project Private as specified. I don't want to talk you out of ARC review if you (or anyone else) feel it's useful in this case, but I'm not sure I see what the ARC would be reviewing. And a nit: the ARC doesn't use "Evolving" anymore. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj at workingcode.com>
