So that is a vote in favor??? ;~) As I understand it, the reason you cannot mix your magics is that overload only operates on RV's, so there is no magic table to lookup the set magic callback from. There is no reason to *fully* emulate tie, since there is already a get magic (overload stringify/numify) that covers that case.
