Show us the code.

No, don't show us an "ideal" API; show us the real, actual code.  Even a simple proof of concept would be fine.  Seriously.  Show us the code.  Saying "what if ..." is a wonderful thought exercise and I'm VERY sympathetic to your point of view (my objections are largely stemming from practicality), but I don't believe that the "if" can be realized.

So show us the code.  Seriously.  I would love to see something come even close to working.  I expect I would learn a lot from it.

Cheers,
Ovid
