Ok, so, if I get it right, you are proposing to go back to existential
and everything just because you think it is wrong to extend a class,
which, I was told, is just something you can extend without breaking
what is built upon it.

All this because you suppose PerWorspace is the only one that *may* be
using a non pure combinator.

Well, just today Joachim was asking for something like a combinator,
implemented as another hook.

Brent, even though I really like your code, I must confess I *totally*
disagree with your design principles.

Cheers,
Andrea
