Bas: if you think best in C (or whatever), go for it. However, I do
think you will make better progress if you first try to write down the
interface that you are coding against.

CapIDL is one effective way to do this.

My concern is that we have talked a lot about ways in which POSIX is
problematic, but we haven't really started to discuss what the
alternative might look like. Given this, I don't know how you can make
much progress. I think what you are really after is to get whatever we
*should* be doing articulated so that you can get your head around it.

I agree!
