Yes, I just hadn't plugged in my brain properly. Of course they must.
And then we get the problem Samuele describes.

I agree. I do, however, think it should be possible to build this sort
of stuff on top of Anygui, which means that something like the
Assignee code should probably be in place. Or maybe it would be
possible to separate this sort of thing completely from the main code
base.

If there are people working on this (it seems that Dallas and Samuele
are having a look) I think that the Model classes are great examples
of how things can be done. However, I agree that other things should
probably take a higher priority.

Anyway, I'll probably start a round of coordinated testing soon to see
where we stand wrt. the desired functionality for 0.2a0 (which I will
then also define). I know that I, at least, would find it motivating
to build on a release rather than simply building _towards_ a
release... I suspect model functionality will not be required in the
alpha-zero.
