	Oh, one other comment -- this structure depends on a "the programmer
must do this" sort of rule. That is, "You must always call Y and then
Z." Designs that involve this tend to cause problems down the road,
since not all programmers read API docs. At least, not until they get an
error. :-)

	Either make sure it's enforced programmatically, or just roll step 3
into step 4.
