yes, much coolness.

my thoughts on that are not something i really feel like having in
public record.
my other thoughts however i will put on record: stem seems to do a lot
of cool stuff. the cool stuff that we dont have we need to build into
POE. beyond that, i really dont care if stem interoperates. stem should
have been patches to POE eons ago.
BUT.
if POE and stem can play nice together with minimal effort from us, then
we should look at it. but yes, us fixing stem is dumb. Stealing its good
ideas, not dumb.
