Lol... the initial message seems not to have passed my spam filter... ;) I, too, tend to option three. The problem, though is backwards-compatibility... Any suggestions and concerns are appreciated.
I'll look at the code to see how much work that creates. I think the complexity is quite acceptable. I am right now in a threading redesign, so I'd like to push this away for a little while... Anyhow, please keep comments floating - I'll listen and drop in any thoughts I have.
