Holly cow!
"rich file hierarchy"
"retarded single-level store"

Are you serious? I think "retarded" applies more to that second
statement than it does to single-level store.

Granted the compilers should have the ability to compile source files
from something other than source physical files, and that requirement is
seriously long over due. At least the CodeStudio and Code400 editors
read and write source to those areas easy enough (although I'm no
Code/400 expert).
