Ultimately, some of these will likely end-up in the library.  For the
time being, I think it best that these get posted and evolve either as
Wiki entries or as ASPN entries.  The best practices and proven winners
have yet to emerge.  Solidifying first attempts is likely not a good
idea.  Putting tools in the standard library should be the last
evolutionary step, not the first.
