I somehow just realized yesterday that CFacter is a thing already. So I guess we're already somewhere down this road. Just cloned the repo - doesn't seem to build on Debian sid with Ruby 2.1.0. Will likely take some fiddling. I may rummage around in the code to see if I can get a feeling for what's on the horizon.
