Believe me.  It is *MUCH* harder than it looks to do lots of different
look and feels with lots of different underlying models.  We looked
into doing this with OI, and it had chosen poorly its abstraction and
let too much X shine through.  It was hard enough to come up with a
design for NT, but curses was right out.
