I'm glad you're thinking that: I've been thinking exactly the same 
thing! Yes, I agree, but one step at a time: I've identified a bug in 
the projection handler relating to addresses of destructed analyses 
being reallocated, and I want to get that sorted before shifting 
anything around any more. I'm hoping that this will be the last 
iteration of the infrastructure, barring the histograms (on which there 
will be some effort soon, but spontaneous volunteers who hate the 
current histogram classes are more than welcome...)
