So, as a followup to this, I'd like to recommend that we prototype stuff
where possible. This isn't possible from any required file (because
thats a runtime thing, not a compile time thing), and most of our
modules are OO things which also don't work with prototypes, but there
is stuff which can be handled that way.

Thoughts?
