Well that is certainly what I had in mind when I made the changes that

I think most of that is already on the Axiom Wiki.

I believe that is exactly what I did. But unless you are subscribed to
the Axiom Wiki itself (some Axiom developers are and some are not) you
probably did not get a chance to read what I wrote before I did what
Tim asked me to do and deleted the page from the Wiki.

Sounds good to me. Only this time you start it and maybe no one will
ask you to delete it again. :-(
