Much of the discussion on that latter was a bit over my head, so it's
difficult for me to comment (which doesn't mean I'll have the sense to
keep my mouth shut... =) ). My gut feeling is that I would really want to
be able to compile MUD-code to native, but that anything beyond that
would just be overkill for my own particular usage.

How very true. =) We *do* have a rather elite committee working on this
one, however (at least when compared with your average design committee).
Maybe we can buck the odds...
