I do not think so.  You just more clearly and explicitly stated
what I wanted to see; we share the same vision of the ideal
world.

I do however think your sights are probably focused at somewhere
a lot further then mine ;-).  C level interfaces to those
aggregated common operations would happen once after we identify
what kind of common operations are useful to have, prototyping
them (most likely in scripting environment), and if it turns out
to be useful and performance critical.  I personally do not
think we are there yet.
