Well, yeah...But doesn't every platform also have the "raw" ADC implementation
which provides exactly the same interface, with a (well, to my low-level mind)
more straightforward connection to the external world? Admittedly there are
some 'tricks' that need to be performed to get, e.g., the micasb Photo/Temp
sensors to work. But the extra "Demo" layer increases obscurity without
providing any additional modularity. And making changes, say Photo to Temp,
requires editing a file in the "system" area rather than directly in the app.

Anyway, Software Design is still a Black Art...

Yes, however every platform has a DemoSensor, which allows demos (not
applications) to be written and compiled irregardless of the platform
(thus the prefix "Demo")
