POE needs a way of managing various bits of data about internal configuration and operation. this can be useful for introspection or for replacing/augmenting systems like the ASSERT and TRACE constants we have in place now.
in irc, rocco and i drafted up a system that smells an awful lot like proc/sysctl/perl's MAGIC. for posterity, i've attached the relevant log to this ticket.
the idea is to store, via a module named POE::Resource::Controls, a fairly arbitrary hash of data inside the kernel. this would be exposed to the user via a module named POE::API::Ctl, sysctl style. the user should be able to write to a certain subset of the data.
