Thanks, I will start exploring ways to simplify and keep it
extensible. Related to this topic, would it be a nice idea to have
something like emacs 'defadvice'. Using it, you are redefine some of
the functions to execute something before it is called and/or after it
is called. An alternative would be to have hooks 'pre and post' for
all such functions. This makes it really extensible.
