  Which could then be implemented in C for efficiency, once everyone's 
agreed and if someone has the inclination.  ;-)
  Note: I'm not endorsing any of the magical import mechanisms; I'm
just becoming increasingly concerned about the performance of whatever 
is "standard."  And whatever is standard is the only one I'll use;
using "ni" in Grail was somewhat useful, but painful as well!  ;-)
But I should be over it in a few more years.
