Hey - lighten up... If you read my answer, I was replying to the "The
anygui people would be very interested, I'm sure" part. I was
interested.
The reason the Anygui MVC architecture is the way it is is mainly to
avoid the need for notification in every little modification; with
observable built-ins this sort of thing would have to be handled in
another manner, of course. I'm not sure exactly how this should be
done, but, as I said, I am interested.

I'm not sure I see your point here (although I'm sure it's entirely my
fault). Are you saying that there would be a problem because you would
get too many notifications? If so, I don't see how that's inherent in
being able to observe values belonging to built-in types (which is
what I'm interested in).
Oh, well. I guess it's not going to happen anyway, so this discussion
is probably going nowhere.
