It is quite possible that the list of features, requirements, etc.,
are all known only after the Python prototype show that it worked.
Very few people (except those who are really very proficient in C++)
would like to write prototypes in such static languages, but once the
prototype show what is needed, and the prototype becomes part of the
production system, one have to step by step turn it back to C++.
