N'ack. As I mentioned in the last email, this really isn't okay, and
mostly defeats the purpose of Zinc in the first place, adding
complexity in a discombobulated half-baked way. Your proposal seems to
be the worst of all worlds. Having talked to lots of people about the
design of Zinc at this point to very positive reception, I'm going to
move forward with submitting v9, once I rebase with the required
changes for Eric's latest merge.
