I know, that's why I wanted to get input from everyone first.

The original reason I even got on this track was that in the process of 
designing serialization and marshaling for getters and setters, I 
realized the old tentative design created a number of problems I 
couldn't resolve, which caused development to hit a brick wall.  I 
actually have a long email I wrote last week outlining the problems in 
great detail, I didn't send it then but I will do so now.

Well, at the moment I'm in a bind one way or the other, since I can't 
proceed without resolving this impass.
