Yep.  At the level you're discussing here, the toolkits and apps could
benefit from a different model.

That wasn't true for systems I've worked on in the past, so I don't
believe it's true in general.  If it's a bottleneck in our current
systems, at least it's something those of us working at the low level
can fix to make life easier for those higher in the food chain.
