Well, I'm glad you're thinking about these issues, because it is  
going to be the major topic of the next release after 1.3, and I'm  
not entirely sure how I want to do it.  Brian and I have explored  
many alternative approaches in great detail, and he has mentioned  
that he has worked out an idea in some detail, but I haven't heard it  
yet.  (Brian: maybe that's your cue!)
