At first I thought DWIM was "Dylan Window Interface Manager".  "Prefix 
forever", Dylan, sorry. :(

Really what we have here is what us Westerners call a "Mexican standoff" (viz 
"The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly").  A programmer (hereafter "the hero") wants 
ease of use/elegance while the language developer (hereafter "the cattle 
baron") wants to laze around in their travertine lined tub, smoking Cuban 
cigars, and refusing to modify their system.

I've read enough Louis L'Amour to know there is always compromise and use a 
concept called "platform independence", and I'm going to use an indirection to 
allow either way.  My wife and I figur'd this out last night while watching 
"Hondo".
